The absence or presence of primary tumor desmoplasia may be an alternative to conventional classification systems to help guide intraoperative management of sporadic medullary thyroid cancer.
Spontaneous hepatic hemorrhage is a rare condition that is mostly seen in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma or hepatic adenomas. But in this case it was caused by metastasized papillary thyroid cancer.
Thyroid ablation technology has developed rapidly in the past 20 years, but these two cases highlight how incomplete ablation of thyroid nodules hinders its use as a treatment for thyroid cancer.
A woman presented with anterior neck swelling of 6 years’ duration that had recently increased in size. The absence of other significant clinical and laboratory findings delayed the diagnosis of thyroid tuberculosis.

Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is the most frequent endocrine cancer worldwide and is usually characterized by an excellent prognosis. Surgery (total or near-total thyroidectomy) and then radioiodine ( 131 I) remnant ablation are the …
Due to the frequent diagnosis of benign thyroid nodules, it is necessary to deviate from the traditional paradigm based on frequent surgical treatment. This article highlights the evolution of diagnosis and treatment in recent years, beginning …
Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder caused by a lack of thyroid hormone that requires lifelong replacement therapy for the majority of patients. Studies in Northern Europe, Japan and the USA have found its prevalence to range between 0.6 …
Thyroid follicular nodular disease (non-toxic multinodular goiter), the commonest thyroid disorder, can be managed with different surgical methods, including total thyroidectomy (TT), near-total thyroidectomy (NTT), subtotal thyroidectomy (STT) …
Identifying molecular biomarkers is crucial in determining the best targeted treatment options for your patients with advanced thyroid cancer.
Join our expert-led multi-format educational program that explores the continuing discovery of new genomic targets and delivers the latest research in molecular testing and the application of targeted therapies for thyroid cancer.
Traditionally, psammoma bodies (PB) have been considered as tale-tell evidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and are frequently encountered in classic and other subtypes of PTCs. However, the presence of PBs in the thyroid gland does not …
Thyroid cancer (TC) represents 3% of global cancer incidence. Recent changes have optimized treatment decisions based on risk assessment, molecular profiling, and imaging assessment, leading the development of targeted agents that have modified …
Thyroid cancer is the ninth most common type of cancer worldwide. Approximately 75% of patients with thyroid cancer are females, and the median age of diagnosis is in the early 50 s. Furthermore, this disease is the most common malignancy in the …
