Significant negative impact on the prognosis and an average life expectancy of 3 to 5 years.Material and method: Since 2018, patients with refractory thyroid carcinoma and considered to be progressive according to the RECIST criteria have been treated with anti tyrosine Kinase type sorafenib.<p class="abst...

Introduction: Anaplastic thyroid cancer has long been considered as a mesenchymal tumor (sarcoma). To date, it is difficult to differentiate between the two types. Radio-induced sarcomas of the head and neck are a very rare entity. Their annual incidence is 0.06 to 0.17%.Observation: We report the case of a 83-year-old patient, with a history of breast neoplasia treated with radiotherapy 7 years ago. Followed for a year for papillary carcinoma of the thy...

Introduction: Primary thyroid lymphomas are rare (2–5% of thyroid cancers and less than 5% of extra-ganglionic lymphomas). The most frequent types are B-cell lymphoma and MALT lymphoma. Posing a diagnosis problem, including differential diagnosis with anaplastic cancer. We report two different cases of thyroid lymphoma.Observation: Case 1: Women 64-year-old, followed by 7 years for Hashimoto’s thyroid consulted for a cervical mass, of rapid evo...

Introduction: Cervical lymph node metastases from differentiated thyroid carcinomas occur mainly in the central compartment with an incidence between 20 and 90% (average 60%). The American Thyroid Association considers that the central compartment goes to the unnamed artery thus systematically including level VII to level VI. We report the case of a patient with resected level VII lymph thanks to identification by technetium99-nanocolloid.Observation: Pa...

Introduction: Oral metastases are exceptional, representing about 1% of cancers of the oral region. The most common primary tumors are the lung in men and the breast in women. Thyroid carcinoma accounts for approximately 3% of all oral metastatic carcinomas.We are reporting a case.Observation: 65-year-old woman, followed for 35 years for a toxic large goiter at the expense of the right lobe under medical treatment, which consults f...

Introduction: Familial follicular cell-derived tumors may account 5–15% of thyroid carcinoma cases. Defined as the attainment of two or more first-degree relatives by thyroid cancer in the absence of a known familial syndrome. When three or more family members are affected, the probability that the disease has a familial origin is 99.9%. We report the case of a family of 4 siblings affected.Observation: – Patient aged 43 years, without a person...
