Introduction: The association between autoimmune thyroid diseases and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is still controversial and it is based only on retrospective analyses.Objective: Aim of the present research was to evaluate this association in a prospective study of unselected consecutive thyroid nodules (TN) submitted to fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), anti-thyroid autoantibodies (ATA) measurement and histological analyses of surgical sampl...

Purpose: To characterize the interference of concomitant thyroid diseases in the localization of HP in pHPT and develop a valuable diagnostic strategy.Subjects and methods: Forty pHPT patients were selected for the presence of coexistent thyroid nodules (TN) or Hashimotos thyroiditis (HT). Neck ultrasound (US) and sesta-MIBI scintigraphy (MIBI) were performed in all cases. US and MIBI were concordant in 16 cases (group I) while in the remaining 24 ...
