Warthin-like tumor of the thyroid is a recently described rare variant of thyroid papillary carcinoma. The distinguishing histological feature of this variant is papillary foldings lined by oncocytic neoplastic cells with clear nuclei and nuclear pseudoinclusions, accompanied by prominent lymphocytic infiltrate in the papillary stalks. Its prognosis has been reported to be almost similar to con...

Struma ovarii is a rare monodermal variant of ovarian teratoma that contains at least 50% thyroid tissue. Less than 8% of struma ovarii cases present with clinical and biochemical evidence of thyrotoxicosis due to ectopic production of thyroid hormone and only 5% undergo malignant transformation into a papillary thyroid carcinoma. Only isolated cases of hormonally active papillary thyroid carci...

3-4 October 2014 Naples, Italy Multi disciplinary Conference on Hepatocellular Carcinoma Museo Diocesano www.epatocarcinomacampania.com Background Thyroid cancer represents the most common cancer of the endocrine system. In 2014, 62,980 new cases and 1,890 deaths are estimated to occur in the United Sates. Thyroid cancer occurs more frequently in women than in men, and represents 5% of estimate...

Metastasis to the thyroid gland is very rare. Recently, we experienced a case of thyroid metastasis from breast cancer accompanying a papillary thyroid. A 51-year-old female patient presented with a palpated lymph node on her left lateral neck. The patient had undergone a left modified radical mastectomy followed by chemotherapy and hormonal therapy 12 years prior. Ultrasonography of the neck r...

background: fine needle aspiration (fna) has led to a decrease in unnecessary surgeries for thyroid nodules. this study was designed to compare diagnostic value of fna and frozen section methods in the follicular lesions. methods: this is a cross-sectional study based on the medical records of 42 patients who were referred to surgery clinic of rasool-e-akram hospital in tehran with complaint of...

concomitant papillary thyroid cancer and parathyroid adenoma is rare. we report a 55 years old female with papillary cancer admitted for surgery. preoperative laboratory findings revealed hypercalcemia and then primary hyperparathyroidism. thyroidectomy, neck dissection and excision of parathyroid adenoma were performed. histological examination revealed parathyroid adenoma. serum calcium retur...

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is caused by germ-line mutations of the apc gene, and it is associated with an increased risk of developing papillary thyroid carcinomas. We have previously reported that a significant fraction of sporadic human papillary thyroid carcinomas is characterized by gene rearrangements affecting the ret protooncogene. These rearrangements generate chimeric transfo...

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...

Warthin-Like tumor of the thyroid is a recently described rare variant of papillary thyroid cancer. The distinct histological feature of this variant is papillary architecture lining oncocytic epithelial cells with nuclear characteristics of papillary carcinoma, accompanied by prominent lymphocytic infiltration in the papillary stalks. Here, we present a case of occult Warthin-like papillary th...
