Dear Editor, Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) lies in close proximity with the thyroid gland. Thus, thyroid diseases, mainly the malignant ones, tend to cause irreversible recurrent laryngeal nerve damage due to the infi ltration of the tumour cell. RLN damage due to benign lesion particularly from a solitary thyroid cyst is a rare incident. We report a case of a patient with right vocal cord pa...

Thyroglossal duct cysts are the most frequently encountered congenital neck masses having a malignancy rate of 1%. The most common malignant form is papillary thyroid carcinoma. Synchronous papillary thyroid carcinoma developing in the thyroglossal duct cyst is rarely seen. Synchronized papillary carcinoma can be described as a multifocal tumor or a metastatic lesion on a thyroglossal duct cyst...

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid carcinoma and is derived from thyroid follicular cells. In contrast, medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is rare and originates from the parafollicular C-cells. Synchronous occurrence of these two carcinomas is uncommon and occurs as either discrete lesions or as a mixed lesion. The current case report describes a 50-year-old woman with...

Papillary thyroid carcinoma is a common thyroid malignancy reported world wide. It affects females more commonly in the 4th to 6th decades of life. The patients usually present with a painless anterior neck mass and occasionally with lymph node involvement. We report a case of an elderly male who presented with hoarseness and hemoptysis, which warranted bronchoscopy. Biopsy of the intraluminal ...

Purpose. We present a rare case of colorectal metastasis to the thyroid five years following primary colonic resection. This case highlights the need to be cognisant of unusual sites of metastasis from colorectal neoplasms. Case Report. An 82-year-old male patient had a panproctocolectomy for synchronous colorectal tumours. Five years later he was found to have lung and thyroid metastases found...

An 18-year-old female diagnosed finally as PTC with intrathyroid spread was reported, and the diagnosis and surgical treatment of internal spreading of PTC were discussed. One lump was found on the thyroid isthmus by physical examination and B ultrasound, and multiple nodular shadows were found by CT. This patient finally underwent total thyroidectomy with bilateral central node dissection due ...

BACKGROUND Metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma typically appears in local lymph nodes. Skin metastases are rare. PURPOSE A man with progressive metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma who developed a cutaneous metastasis on his nose is described. The clinical manifestations of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma to skin are reviewed. METHODS PubMed was used to search the following term...

A hitherto undescribed case of an osseous choristoma of the thyroid presenting as a single cold nodule is presented. The possible origin of the lesion is discussed.

We report the case of a 51-year-old female patient who had undergone sigmoidectomy for adenocarcinoma (T3 N1 M0) and adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) and had metastatic disease five years after the initial diagnosis. Computed tomography (CT) showed metastases in the right thyroid lobe (RTL), the tail of the pancreas, and the left lower lobe of the lung, which were confirmed by positron emission tomog...
