Vascular variations are prevalent among the human population. However, the occurrence of anatomical variations in the inferior thyroid artery originating directly from the brachiocephalic trunk (BCT) is exceptionally rare, as confirmed by numerous research studies. In addition, reliable departmental statistics reveal that the incidence rate of retrosternal goiter is approximately 19%. In this case study, the variation blood vessels in the neck were accidentally found and analyzed. Simultaneously, we conducted an analysis on the clinical significance of a rare anatomical variation...

Global climate change, habitat fragmentation, and human interference have resulted in a significant, ongoing decline in the population of goitered gazelles. Effective conservation strategies require an understanding of resource requirements of threatened species, such as dietary needs. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the food composition and seasonal dietary changes of goitered gazelles through microhistological analyses of fresh feces. Fabaceae (11.5%), Gramineae (9.4%), Chenopodiaceae (20.2%), Asteraceae (10...

BACKGROUND: Extrathyroid implantation or dissemination of thyroid tissue secondary to a thyroid procedure is rare. Most of these belonged to thyroid carcinoma with metastatic potential and uncommon for benign pathologies. METHODS: We report the case of a 31-year-old female who was identified to have multiple subcutaneous implantation of thyroid tissue 5 years after transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach.

The early history of the use of radioactive iodine (RAI) is complicated and interesting, and also difficult to discover, especially since several histories have presented inaccurate content. This article is a comprehensive review of the accomplishments of Saul Hertz. Extensive use of primary-source verification has clarified several issues, including the question of whether Hertz alone conceived and asked the pivotal question: "Could iodine be made radioactive artificially?"; on what date RAI was first used to treat hyperthyroidism; and why 2 articles on the first use of RAI for treatment of hyperthyroidism, from 2 different sets of authors from the same department of the same institution, appeared adjacent to each other in the same issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1946...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The thyroid is a gland responsible for producing important body hormones. Several pathologies can affect this gland, such as thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, and thyroid cancer. The visual histological analysis of thyroid specimens is a valuable process that enables pathologists to detect diseases with high efficiency, providing the patient with a better prognosis. Existing computer vision systems developed to aid in the analysis of histological samples have limitations in distinguishing pathologies with similar characteristics or samples containing multiple diseases...

parapharyngeal space can have a mass of thyroid origin following metastasis from the thyroid or ectopic thyroid tissue. The extension of multinodular goiter into the parapharyngeal space is rare. A 54-year-old female presented with a 5-month history of neck mass and dyspnea. On examination, a large mass was seen on the right side of the neck which was bulging into the right parapharngeal. In the sonography, a large 50 × 57 mm cyst seen at the upper end of the right lobe of the thyroid...

Diffuse thyroid lipomatosis (DTL) is a rare entity of unknown etiology that can be associated with amyloidosis and rarely, thyrotoxicosis. Here, we present a case of DTL with amyloid deposits and concurrent thyrotoxicosis. A 64-year-old South-Asian woman with a several-year history of an enlarging goiter, unintentional weight loss, and work-up 10 months prior suggestive of thyroiditis presented with a viral syndrome in setting of several weeks of progressive fatigue. Her examination was notable for resting sinus tachycardia and massive painless goiter...

Thyroid cancer in ectopic thyroid tissue is a very rare entity. We report a patient with papillary thyroid cancer arising from upper mediastinal ectopic thyroid tissue. The patient presented with thoracic spine metastasis with cord compression. The patient was a 67-year-old woman, who presented with upper back pain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed suspected metastatic disease in the second and third thoracic vertebrae (T2 and T3). She underwent laminectomy and decompression surgery at the T1-T3 level...

OBJECTIVE: Partial or total sternotomy is required for 10% of retrosternal goiter. This study reviewed our experience with an extended cervicotomic approach as an alternative surgical solution for retrosternal goiter. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed on patients who underwent partial or total thyroidectomy for retrosternal goiter between 2014 and 2019 at a tertiary medical centre. Data on clinical, radiologic, and pathologic factors were analysed. Peri- and postoperative outcomes were compared between extended and standard cervical approaches to predict the need for an extended cervical approach...

INTRODUCTION: Primary Thyroid Lymphoma (PTL) is defined as lymphoma involving the thyroid gland alone or the thyroid gland and adjacent neck lymph nodes without contiguous spread or distant metastases at the time of diagnosis. Most thyroid lymphomas are B cell lymphomas, and 98% of all PTL cases are non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is a rare disease accounting for around 5% of the thyroid neoplasms and 2% of extranodal lymphomas. If properly diagnosed and treated, the prognosis is favorable...

A 64-year-old patient required emergency surgery with high risk of intubation failure, without any possibility to perform neither a direct transtracheal access nor VV-ECMO canulation. The patient was managed thanks to a VA-ECMO despite the absence of cardiac function impairment. This report describes perioperative challenges and management of this unconventional case with favorable outcome.

INTRODUCTION: Goiter is a common problem in clinical practice, representing a large part of clinical evaluations for thyroid disease. It tends to grow slowly and progressively over several years, eventually occupying the thoracic inlet with its lower portion, defining the situation known as retrosternal goiter. Total thyroidectomy is a standardized procedure that represents the treatment of choice for all retrosternal goiters, but when is performed for such disease, a higher risk of postoperative morbidity is variously reported in the literature...

Ectopic thyroid tissue is a rare developmental abnormality involving aberrant embryogenesis of the thyroid gland during passage from the primitive foregut to the pretracheal position. The most frequent position is the base of the tongue (lingual thyroid); however, it has been described in other sites, such as the submandibular region, trachea, mediastinum, and subdiaphragmatic regions.Here, we report a case of an adenomatous goiter that developed in mediastinal thyroid tissue without any connection to the pretracheal thyroid gland...

BACKGROUND: Subclinical thyrotoxicosis (SCH) is characterized by normal serum thyroid hormone levels and low thyrotropin levels. The impact of this condition on the skeletal system may vary depending on its cause, yet the relationship is not fully comprehended in premenopausal women. Studies are scarce about its effects on bone health in our population. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to evaluate the bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers in premenopausal women with SCH and determine if any differences exist based on the condition's etiology...

Thyroid nodules are common clinical entities, with a significant proportion being malignant. Early, accurate, and non-invasive tools to differentiate benign and malignant nodules can optimize patient management and reduce unnecessary surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and accuracy of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in distinguishing benign from malignant thyroid nodules. A diffuse reflectance spectrum for a total of 20 thyroid nodule samples (10 samples as colloid goiter and 10 samples as thyroid cancer), were acquired in the wavelength range from 1000 to 2500 nm...

CONTEXT: Thyroglobulin (Tg), encoded by TG, is essential for thyroid hormone synthesis. TG defects result in congenital hypothyroidism (CH). Most reported patients were born before the introduction of newborn screening (NBS). OBJECTIVE: We aimed to clarify the phenotypic features of patients with TG defects diagnosed and treated since the neonatal period. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We screened 1061 patients with CH for thirteen CH-related genes and identified thirty patients with TG defects...
