conclusions if the indications and contraindications of minimally invasive thyroidectomy are taken into account, it seems to be a safe procedure and regarding the benefits of this procedure, it's recommended that surgeons pay more attention to this newly developed technique. introduction since 1996 with improvement of endoscopic instrumentation several novel minimally invasive techniques have b...

BACKGROUND Palpable thyroid nodules are present in 4-7% of general population and Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) is now accepted by endocrinologists and thyroid surgeons as a safe, simple and cost effective procedure for evaluating a thyroid nodule. The obtained sample can be spread directly on slides, processed as cell block preparations or prepared as liquid base smears. Liquid base method has ...

OBJECTIVE Based on the assumption that normal TSH concentration rules out the presence of autonomous functioning thyroid nodules (AFTNs), clinical guidelines on the management of thyroid nodules only recommend a thyroid scan if TSH concentration is subnormal. However, the proportion of AFTN presenting with a normal TSH is unknown. Our objective is therefore to determine the proportion of AFTNs ...

Different histopathological patterns and variants of Papillary Carcinoma Thyroid have been reported to influence the prognosis of the patients. Fifty six cases of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid diagnosed at Govt .Stanley Medical college ,Department of pathology over a three year period were reviewed with the aim of identifying these variants. Forty three (76.8%) were classical papillary car...

Objectives: To assess the diagnostic effi cacy of fi ne needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in identifying cancer isolated thyroid nodules using nodule histology as gold standard. Materials and Methods: Between January 2021 September 2022, 145 individuals who were hospitalized to ENT department, Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar, Pakistan, with a single underwent surgery for histopathology whose ...

Thyroid fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the most accurate and cost effective method in the evaluation of the thyroid nodule and has been commonly used in adults. Thyroid nodules are uncommon in younger patients (1-2%). Our aim was to determine some relevant clinical and cytological parameters in this demographic group. Ultrasound-guided thyroid FNACs performed from May 1995 to June 20...

background: there are inter-observer disagreements between papillary thyroid carcinoma (ptc) with other follicular lesions of thyroid in aspect of diagnosis. cd56 is present on follicular epithelial cells of the normal thyroid. we evaluated the diagnostic value of cd56 expression in ptc, follicular thyroid lesions, and follicular thyroid neoplasms. materials and methods: seventythree cases diag...

Estimates of the prevalence of thyroid nodules in children depend on the method of detection, ranging from 1 to 1.5% for detection by palpation to 3% for detection on ultrasound scans. Several risk factors are associated with a higher risk of developing thyroid nodules. These factors include puberty, iodine insufficiency, family history of thyroid disease, thyroid diseases, whether autoimmune (...

CONTEXT Thyroid metastasis from pancreatic adenocarcinoma is extremely rare, with only two previous cases in the literature. We report a case of pancreatic adenocarcinoma metastasising to the thyroid. We review the incidence, diagnosis, and management of this rare occurrence. CASE REPORT A 38-year-old man with a synchronous 6-month history of thyroid swelling, presented with epigastric pain a...
