Introduction: Thyroid and cervical nodules are a common pathology that require a complex management. However, thyroid lymphoma is a rare entity which can be challenging to diagnose. It represents less than 5% of all thyroid malignancies and no more than 2,5% of all lymphomas. We aim to report the case of thyroid lymphoma and a review of the literature.Clinical Report: We describe the case of 63 year-old women with no relevant personal or family history t...

Introduction: Chylous leaks after neck dissections occur in 1-2% of patients. However, bilateral chylothorax after neck dissections for thyroid carcinoma is extremely rare. We report the case of a bilateral chylothorax after a total thyroidectomy and left sided modified neck dissection for thyroid carcinoma and management of chylous leak.Case Report: A 39-year-old patient presented with a two-week history of a palpable tumor measuring 3 × 3 cm in th...

Introduction: Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) accounts for 90% of all thyroid cancers. The majority of DTC have a favourable outcome, but 5–10% of the patients will develop metastatic disease. Functioning metastases of differentiated thyroid cancer are very rare and their pathogenesis is still not fully understood.Case report: We present the clinical course and management of a 71-year-old woman diagnosed with subclinical non-autoimmune hyperthyr...

Introduction: Mature cystic teratoma is the most common germ cell tumor of the ovary and is known to be benign tumors containing well-differentiated cells from three germ layers. However, malignant transformation of the various tissue components within mature ovarian teratomas, such as the occurrence of papillary thyroid carcinoma, is extremely rare.Case Report: During a check-up, a 62-year-old asymptomatic woman, was found to have a 5-cm hyperechoic les...

Objectives: The purpose of our study is to describe the management of the a neoplastic internal jugular vein thrombosis secondary to a vesicular thyroid gland carcinoma that was not accessible through a cervical approach.Materials and methods: We described the case of a vesicular thyroid gland carcinoma that resulted in an enormous neoplastic thrombosis of the internal jugular vein that was managed in our department using a cervico-thoracic approach....

Background: Non-thyroid metastases to the thyroid (NTMs) are rare, representing approximately 1.4%-3% of cases among malignant thyroid tumors.Methods: A research of anatomopathological and cytological reports was carried out, from the years 2008 to 2023 of patients with NTMs, previously carried out in the Department of Pathological Anatomy at a tertiary hospital. Only two patients were found. Aims: we describe the clinical presentation, the demographic p...

Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in children and adolescents is a rare disease, however its incidence is rising worldwide, rendering it the most common pediatric endocrine neoplasia, representing 3% of all pediatric malignancies. Total thyroidectomy is the treatment of choice in pediatric DTC aiming a more recurrence-free and disease-free survival. Based on the presence of local or distant metastases, 131I radioiodine treatment is quite often required post-surger...

Introduction: Follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) is the second most common type of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). It is more likely to metastasize to the bone compared to papillary types, primarily through blood spread. Bone involvement is seen in 6-12% of FTC cases, with the spinal column being the most affected area. However, spinal metastases most often appear in the late stages, making their presence as an initial revelation of the disease extremely rare.<p class="a...

Introduction: Association of Thyroid tuberculosis with thyroid cancer is a very rare entity. To the best of our knowledge, only six cases of thyroid TB and papillary thyroid cancer have been reported in the literature. The purpose of our work is to present the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities of this association.Methods: Retroceptive study conducted on 4 patients followed and treated for papillary thyroid carcinoma associated with thyroid tuberculos...

Introduction: Primary cancers most likely to metastasize to the mandible. We report a case of mandibular metastasis of follicular thyroid carcinoma. Case Report: A 68-year-old patient with gingival lesions that invaded the mandible. The mandibular tumor occurred two years after a papillary thyroid carcinoma treated by total thyroidectomy. Pathological examination of a gingival sample revealed metastasis of papillary thyroid cancer. The gingival and mandi...
