Papillary carcinoma arising in thyroglossal cyst is rare and is usually detected on postoperative histopathology after routine Sistrunk operation. Further management is a matter of debate and the choice lies between regular follow-up after Sistrunk operation or total thyroidectomy with or without radioiodine ablation and thyroxine suppression therapy. Here, we present a case of papillary carcin...

Splenic infarction is a rare diagnosis in the emergency department and can easily mimic other causes of acute abdomen. Cardioembolic hematological disorders, inflammatory (eg pancreatitis) infectious sepsis) conditions, postoperative malignant neoplasms atherosclerosis are some risk factors. Papillary thyroid carcinoma most common histologic type differentiated malignancy known as least aggress...

Genetic predictors of outcome are reviewed in the context of a disease--cancer--that can be (too) simplistically described as a 'successful, invasive clone of our own tissues'. Context has many faces that determine a thyroid cancer patient's outcome beyond the influence of genetic markers. There is also plenty of evidence on the prognostic meaning of the interplay between genetics and context/m...

Male breast cancer is a rare disease in the male breast whereas gynecomastia is quite common. An elevation of the estrogen-to-androgen ratio increases the risk of both of these diseases. However, a connection between gynecomastia and subsequent breast cancer development is controversial and unclear. Imaging studies including mammography and ultrasound provide valuable information in leading to ...

Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid is well known for metastasis to regional lymph nodes resulting in early detection and overall favorable prognosis. Solitary metastasis of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid in the cerebrum is extremely rare with only a few cases reported in the literature. Here, we report an unusual case of a 40-year-old female patient who presented with neurological symptoms ...

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...

Mixed medullary and follicular or papillary carcinoma of thyroid is an extremely rare tumor, characterized by coexistence of morphological and immunohistochemical features of both medullary carcinoma and follicular (or papillary) carcinoma. This case report describes for the first time in the indexed database a late recurrence of a medullary thyroid carcinoma initially diagnosed as follicular-p...

Distant metastases are rare during the course of ovarian carcinoma. Ovarian epithelial adenocarcinomas rarely metastasize to the skin which is seen in less than 4% of patients. It usually presents as subcutaneous nodules and, less commonly, as inflammatory metastases which mimic cellulitis or viral or bacterial skin infections. The histology in most of the tumours is grade 1 or 2 serous p...

With fewer than 40 cases described in the otolaryngology literature, mixed medullary papillary thyroid carcinoma represents a rare but phenotypically distinct tumor. While isolated medullary carcinoma may be admixed with normal follicular structures, true mixed carcinoma displays morphological and immunological characteristics of medullary and papillary carcinoma within a single lesion. We repo...

Introduction: Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid is commonest cancer in with an increasing incidence over past few decades. A subset papillary carcinomas was re-classified into “Non-invasive Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm papillary-like nuclear features” (NIFTP) late 2017, due to excellent prognosis they exhibit. Identification NIFTP important because surgical management and follow up similar foll...
