Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is found in a high proportion of resected thyroid specimens. There has been considerable controversy as to whether having HT predisposes a patient to papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and conflicting data have been reported with regard to HT and risk of malignancy. The aim of this study was to evaluate coexistence of PTC with HT.Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study done at American Hospital 2 from April 2011...

Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in general has a good prognosis when ist diagnosed early. Late stage disease with bone metastasis may cause severe complications, increases mortality rate, decreases the quality of life, and shortens the patients’ survival. The treatment is still controversial. Surgery or radioiodine therapy alone is usually unsatisfactory.Case presentation: We report a case of a 40-year-old female presented, in August 2012, with ...

Evaluation of routine basal serum calcitonin measurement for an early diagnosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma

Puca Entela , Koza Kadir Burak , Huti Emiljana , Bitri Sonila , Daka Albana , Puca Edmond , Ylli Agron

Background: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is characterised by a high concentration of serum calcitonin. Routine measurement of serum calcitonin concentration has been advocated for detection of MTC among patients with nodular thyroid diseases. The aims of our study were to identify medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) in its earliest stages by screening patients with basal calcitonin measurements and to determine whether basal serum calcitonin measurements should be a part of ou...

We report a case of 68-year-old female who presented at our hospital with a rapidly enlarging neck mass associated with compressive symptoms. On clinical examination, the thyroid gland appeared firm during the acts of deglutition. The results of thyroid function tests were for...
