Introduction: The risk for thyroid malignancy is higher in subjects with Graves’ disease particularly papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). However, coincidence of both PTC and follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) in these subjects is rare. In this case report we present a subject with Graves’ disease with a pathological diagnosis of PTC and FTC having aggravated orbitopathy following remnant ablation.Case report: A 53-year-old subject was referred to our...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and types of accompanying malignancies in Turkish subjects with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) residing in the northern region of Cyprus.Subjects and methods: We retrospectively analysed 567 subjects with a diagnosis of DTC in the Departments of Endocrinology and Nuclear Medicine.Results: Four hundred and forty-eight (79%) were females and 119 (21%) were males....

Introduction: Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most frequently observed type of thyroid cancer. It usually shows favorable prognosis although some aggressive pathological subtypes have been defined. In this case report we present an aggressive form of PTC with previously non defined histological features.Case report: At initial evaluation the subject presented with a mass in the neck. Neck ultrasonography (USG) revealed a 49×23 mm hypo echoic n...

Introduction: Radioactive iodine (RAI) for remnant ablation and post RAI scanning are very frequently employed modalities in differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC). Radioactive iodine is secreted into physiological secretions such as tears and urine. In this case report we present a case who received RAI for DTC with a surprising post RAI scan compatible with multiple metastases.Case report: A 53-year-old male subject underwent total thyroidectomy and ipsi...
