Introduction: Thyroid abscess in the pediatric population is an uncommon presentation and the rarest form of thyroiditis. Anomalies of the third and fourth branches account for 2-8% of cases. Through the observation of febrile torticollis secondary to an acute suppurative thyroiditis, we describe our diagnostic and etiological approach and specify its therapeutic management.Materials and Methods: We present a rare case of an abscessed thyroiditis complic...

Introduction: Dyshormonogenetic goiter is a rare entity that affects 1 in 30, 000 to 50, 000 live births, and it is the second most common cause (10% to 15%) of permanent congenital hypothyroidism. It is morphologically characterized by architectural and cellular pleomorphism that may mimic thyroid malignancy and cause difficulties in differential diagnosis.Material and Methods: We present five cases of dyshormonogenetic goiter gathered at our service.</...

Introduction: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, also known as undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma, is a rare, highly aggressive malignant tumor accounting for 2 to 3 percent of all thyroid gland neoplasms. Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma continues to be one of the most deadly diseases worldwide and carries a very poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic, and evolutionary aspects of anaplastic thyroid carcinomas.M...

Introduction: The occurrence of a differentiated thyroid carcinoma alongside a squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx is a seldom-encountered clinical phenomenon. Typically, it presents as a histological surprise, as clinical examinations and thyroid gland scans often show no abnormalities. Limited clinical cases have been documented in the literature, and the management of such cases remains a subject of significant controversy.Material and Methods: We c...

Introduction: In the follow-up of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), essential tools include iodine-131 scintigraphic imaging, coupled with cervical ultrasound and thyroglobulin measurement. An additional valuable tool is single-photon emission computed tomography combined with computed tomography (SPECT-CT), which precisely localizes fixation anomalies observed during whole-body scans. The aim of our study is to demonstrate, through a case study, the diagnostic contribution...
