Thyroid carcinoma is uncommon but accounts for roughly 95% of all cancers of the endocrine system (1). The "well-differentiated" thyroid tumors include the papillary, follicular, and Hurthle cell subtypes. Although the management of these tumor types generally is similar, important diagnostic and clinical differences do exist (2). We present a case of follicular thyroid carcinoma with spinal me...

The co-existence of cytological evidence for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is uncommon in routine practice. We present the case of a 56 year-old female who presented with bilateral thyroid nodules and PTC was suspected based on the fine needle aspiration cytology. Smears showed high cellularity, neoplastic cells with squamoid cytoplasm and enlarged nuclei wi...

BACKGROUND Thyroid malignancies are a heterogeneous group oftumours which show considerable variability in biological behaviour, histological appearances and response to therapy. Thyroid cancer is uncommon and represents only 1% of all malignancies. Objective was to determine the prevalence of malignancy in patients presenting with goitre. This prospective, observational study was conducted at ...

Abstract Aim To determine whether fine-needle aspiration, ultrasound and thyroidectomies were being performed appropriately in patients with thyroid nodules, to compare the percentage of malignant cases for each histological classification national standards. Method Patients undergoing thyroidectomy Northwest Anglia Trust (East England) between October 2021 – 2022 was identified retrospectively...

BACKGROUND In general, thyroid carcinomas, when they behave aggressively, metastasize to lungs and occasionally to bone and brain. Metastases to other organs are distinctly unusual. Renal metastases have been reported in only 10 patients. Here we report, to the best of our knowledge, the first patient with Hurthle cell thyroid cancer and renal metastasis. The evaluation of this patient was enha...

We report on a case of extraluminal tracheal granular-cell tumor which was interpreted as a Hurthle-cell neoplasm of the thyroid on fine-needle aspirate. Review of the literature reveals only one other such case. The patient was a 35-yr-old female who presented with an enlarged thyroid. Aspiration cytology revealed a syncytium of cells with abundant granular cytoplasm interpreted as a thyroid f...

The most usual form of the endocrine carcinoma is thyroid cancer (TC). In addition to papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), recent studies revealed incidence of RET/PTC rearrangement in other tumors, like Hürthle cell carcinoma (HCC) and even in non-carcinomatous disorders like Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Here, we present a case with concurrence of papillary thyroid carcinoma and Hürthle cell carcino...
