Introduction: Cervical thymic cysts are among the rarest congenital neck masses. Thymic migration into the superior mediastinum during organogenesis explains the topography and diversity of clinical presentations of these cysts. Due to the possibility of mediastinal extension, the management of these lesions is different than other congenital neck masses. The aim of our work is to present the clinical, radiological, and therapeutic features of cervicomediastinal thymic cysts.<...

Objective: Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the thyroid, the diffuse sclerosing variant is however very rare and represents between 0.7 and 6.7% of all papillary thyroid carcinomas. We propose through this poster to study its clinical, epidemiological, therapeutic and prognostic characteristics.Matherials and methods: We report two cases of diffuse papillary sclerosing carcinoma of the thyroid, collected at the ENT and CC...

IntroductionPapillary and follicular thyroid carcinomas are the most common forms of endocrine carcinomas. Lymph node involvement seems to be a low risk factor for death, but it increases the risk for loco-regional recurrences and distant metastasis. Lymph node involvement is more seen in case of papillary thyroid carcinoma, less reported in vesicular carcinoma. The aim of this work is to determine the clinicopathologic predictive factors of central lymp...

Background: To study the diagnostic difficulties, the clinical characteristics, as well as the therapeutic modalities of this entity.Material and method: Report a case of oncocytic carcinoma of the thyroid of aggressive evolution collected in the ENT department and CCF Farhat Hached in Sousse. Result: This is a 54-year-old patient, with no notable history, who was operated on in 2012 for a large goiter evolving for 3 years previous...

Background: analysis the epidemiologic and the clinical features of this entity, then to discuss the management Patients and methods: We report a retrospective study of 120 patients operated on for multi nodular goiter over a period of 5 years between January 2017 and December 2021.Results: In our study a female predominance was noted with a sex ratio F/H of 8/1. The average age of the patients was 44 years with extremes from 15 to...

Background: Primary thyroid non Hodgkin’s lymphoma (PT-NHL), which defined as a lymphoma occurring in the thyroid gland with or without the involvement of regional lymph nodes, is a quite rare pathologic entity, accounting for 1,3-1,5 % of thyroid neoplasm, and 0,5% of lymphoma. there exists insufficient data to describe the incidence of mantle cell lymphoma in the thyroid gland. Due to this rarity and non specific clinical presentation, it seems essentiel to better under...

Background: Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus in ketoacidosis, as well as other kinds of metabolic acidosis, are major risk factors for mucormycosis. As the frequency of diabetes mellitus increase, so does the number of individuals at risk for this lethal infection. However, a lack of symptoms could lead to a delay in diagnosis. The aim of this paper is to study the clical features of otologic mucomycosis and to analysis the impact ketoacidosis the disease’s course.<p cl...

Introduction: Dyshormonogenetic goiter (DG) is considered as a form of thyroid hyperplasia due to enzymatic defects in hormone synthesis. The architectural polymorphism and cellular atypia may mimic thyroid neoplasms and cause difficulties in differential diagnosis.Results: We report 3 cases of DG occurring in one females and two males who were aged 20, 9, and 7 years old, respictively. All patients presented with clinically evidence of goiter. Hypothyro...

Introduction: Remnants of the fourth branchial arch are extremely rare with less than 100 cases reported in the literature and account for 1–4% of all branchial anomalies. These anomalies typically present as recurrent neck infections and/or abscesses or acute suppurative thyroiditis. We report a case of cyst of the 4th cleft revealed by a thyroiditis treated in our department.Case report: A 6-year-old boy presented with recurrent neck swellings. Du...

Introduction: Metastases of thyroid tumors are rare. Metastatic sites are in order of frequency : pulmonary, bone and brain. Facial bones metastases are exceptional. These metastases are more frequent in vesicular than papillary carcinoma histological. The aim of our work is to describe the clinical and radiological aspects as well as the therapeutic modalities.Observation 1 and 2: A 38-year-old woman and 13-year-old boy consulted for a chronic cough wit...
