A case is reported of papillary thyroid adenocarcinoma with cervical lymph node metastases in a young man who had presented earlier with severe total ulcerative colitis. The aetiological factors in the pathogenesis of papillary thyroid carcinoma are briefly reviewed and an association between this neoplasm and ulcerative colitis is suggested.

Follicular thyroid cancer rarely manifests itself as a distant metastatic lesion. We report a case of an otherwise asymptomatic 58-year-old woman with follicular thyroid cancer who initially presented with a soft tissue mass on the right scapular region. An incisional biopsy specimen of soft tissue metastasis showed thyroid follicular neoplasm. Upon this diagnosis, the thyroid gland was re-eval...

Purpose of Review. Studies have been published in the field of autoimmune thyroid diseases since January 2005. The review is organized into areas of etiology, autoimmune features, autoantibodies, mechanism of thyroid cell injury, B-cell responses, and T-cell responses. Also it reviews the diagnosis and the relationship between autoimmune thyroid disease, neoplasm, and kidney disorders. Recent F...

BACKGROUND The follicular variant of papillary thyroid cancer (FVPTC), especially the encapsulated non-invasive subtype, is a controversial entity. Recent study suggested using 'non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP)' for these indolent carcinomas. We evaluated the impact of reclassification from non-invasive encapsulated FVPTCs (EFVPTCs) to NIFTPs...

Primary squamous carcinoma ofthe thyroid gland is a rare condition accounting for less than 1% of all thyroid malignancies."12 Although most frequently seen in the fifth and sixth decades, the tumour may arise in patients across a wide age distribution.3 Squamous carcinoma of thyroid is associated with a poor prognosis, most patients dying within one year of diagnosis.1'3 Overall, metastatic sq...

hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the most common autoimmune thyroid disease, is due to destruction of the thyroid gland by autoantibodies. various types of thyroid malignancies may arise in hashimoto’s thyroiditis. follicular carcinomas, papillary carcinomas, lymphomas, medullary carcinomas and hurthle cell neoplasms may develop in hashimoto’s thyroiditis. we present a rare case report of a 35-year-old...

Thyroid cancer is the fifth most common in USA, with differentiated subtype accounting for more than 95% of neoplasm. Surgery remains mainstay treatment, either lobectomy or total thyroidectomy. In last decades, many technological innovations have been introduced this field. The aim review to illustrate recent advances regarding classical surgical approach, particularly hemostatic devices, para...

Aim of the study: To highlight the importance of cell-block study in combination with FNAC in the diagnosis of different thyroid lesions. Patients and methods: This study was a retrospective study of 85 Egyptian patients with thyroid swellings, coming to cytopathology unit, faculty of medicine, Zagazig U:niversity. FNAC and cell-blocks were performed for each case. Cytological results of FNAC w...

Thyroid nodules are a very common clinical finding, and although the majority of them are benign, thyroid carcinoma accounts for about 5-15% of nodules. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is actually used for the differential diagnosis of these lesions. Although in most cases this examination clearly distinguishes benign from malignant lesions, some fine-needle aspiration (FNA) samples fall...

A rising incidence of thyroid cancers (TCs) mainly small tumors, observed during recent years, lead to many controversies regarding treatment strategies. TCs represent a distinct molecular background and clinical outcome. Although in most cases TCs are characterized by a good prognosis, there are some aggressive forms, which do not respond to standard treatment. There are still some questions, ...
