Results Papillary thyroid cancer was present in 96% of the mainly female patients. In the majority of patients, the results for all four salivary glands were available. After 5 years, 35 patients (16%) reported a dry mouth. Symptoms of a dry mouth were more frequent with higher RAI doses (5.55 GBq, 18%; 3.7 GBq, 7.8%). The SGS before RAI was normal in 88% of 852 salivary glands. In the remainin...

Isolated metastases to the thyroid gland are rare. It is not common for lung cancer metastasize gland, and when it metastasizes; predominant pathology usually adenocarcinoma. In this article, a rare case of metastasis from squamous cell presented. A forty-four-year-old male patient diagnosed with Stage III in our clinic. After chemotherapy, nodular lesion detected. Through fine needle aspiratio...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis to the thyroid gland is rare. Here wereport a 45 yr-old man in western Iran referred to Hematology Clinic, Kermanshah city, Iran in March 2014 with complaint of exertional dyspnea, multi-nodular goiter as well as complaint of exertional dyspnea, and multi-nodular goiter. His history included a low anterior resection of rectum in 9 months ago for a high-risk st...

Introduction: We report a case of a 64-year old man with a history of colon carcinoma. He underwent fine-needle aspiration by CytoFoam-core and diagnosis of metastatic colon cancer to the thyroid gland. Case presentation: In this case report, a solid thyroid nodule in the right lobe of a 64-year-old male was aspirated. The cytological smears showed a small group of atypical cells with the obvi...

Through the cAMP signaling pathway, TSH stimulates thyroid follicular cell proliferation, differentiation, and function. Although the autocrine production of IGF-I in the thyroid gland suggests an important physiological function for this factor in these processes, the exact role of the IGF-I/IGF-I receptor system in vivo remains unclear. Although the mitogenic action of TSH requires the presen...

Thyroid nodules are encountered in clinical practice during the diagnostic procedures or patients' follow-up due to other diseases quite far from the thyroid gland with prevalence 4-50% in general population, depending on age, diagnostic method and race. The prevalence of thyroid nodules increases with age and their clarification should be done for their adequate treatment. An 18F-FDG PET/CT wa...

There is much evidence for the importance of phosphorus in the metabolism and function of the thyroid gland. Kocher (1902) first described an inverse relationship between the contents of iodine and phosphorus in this tissue. More recently, Dempsey & Singer (1946) have presented histochemical evidence for marked fluctuations in the activities of acid and alkaline phosphatases and of hexose phosp...

introduction: thyroid hormones play an important role in the regulation of metabolism, maturity and reproduction. thyroid dysfunction affects almost all endocrine glands such as pituitary and testis. the aim of this study was to investigate alterations of testosterone and luteinizing hormone (lh) serum levels as well as weights of thyroid gland and testes in methimazole (mmi)-induced hypothyroi...

Proper interpretation of the thyroid gland functional data is an important issue on the diagnosis of thyroid disease. The primary role of the thyroid gland is to help regulation of the body’s metabolism. Thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland provides this. Production of too little thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism) or production of too much thyroid hormone (hyper-thyroidism) definites the...
