The combination with a malignant tumour of angioneurotic oedema (ANO) elicited by a disturbance of the complement system was studied. After surgical removal of the tumour the pathologic complement component level may become normal and the angioneurotic oedema may disappear. In the reported case an
BACKGROUND
Currently, there is no standard treatment for metastatic anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC). DNA microarray analysis has shown platelet-dervived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) overexpression in ATC relative to well-differentiated thyroid cancer. In p53-mutated/deficient ATC cell lines, cABL
OBJECTIVE
A phase 1 study was initiated to determine the safety, potential effectiveness, and maximal tolerated dose and recommended phase 2 dose of efatutazone and paclitaxel in anaplastic thyroid cancer.
METHODS
Patients received efatutazone (0.15, 0.3, or 0.5 mg) orally twice daily and then
BACKGROUND
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a lesion radiologically characterized by magnetic resonance imaging findings, such as ring enhancement with extensive perifocal edema and a butterfly appearance extending into the bilateral lobes. However, these characteristic findings could be changed by
OBJECTIVE
To describe a case of Graves ophthalmopathy developing years after subtotal thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine treatment of papillary thyroid cancer.
METHODS
We present a case report including clinical and laboratory data. Current relevant literature is reviewed and summarized with
Paraffinoma is a well known complication of previous paraffin injection into the subcutaneous layer that presents as various conditions including firm mass formation, edema, induration, ulceration, and skin necrosis. Paraffinoma can mimic neoplasm on physical examination and imaging studies and may
BACKGROUND
The decision to extend thyroidectomy to the opposite lobe during resection of well-differentiated thyroid cancer should include an analysis of complications of I-131 radioablation directly related to the thyroid remnant. If significant, then contralateral resection would be indicated. To
Context. Radioiodine (RAI) administration has adverse effects in patients treated for thyroid cancer (DTC), but there is scarce information regarding their intensity and duration. Objective. To evaluate frequency and intensity of early and late RAI-related symptoms in patients with DTC. Design.
Thyroidectomy procedures are the mainstay treatment for thyroid cancer and are safe and effective when they are performed by experienced surgeons. Preoperative evaluation of patients with suspected thyroid cancer consists of ultrasonography, radioisotope scanning, and computed tomography scans.
A 70-year-old female developed respiratory failure due to pharyngolaryngeal edema after posterior occipito-cervical fusion. She had a history of total thyroidectomy with bilateral neck dissection for advanced thyroid cancer associated with multiple lung metastases. However, her general condition was
A case of thyroid cancer causing right ventricular outflow tract obstruction is described. A 72-year-old woman was admitted because of shortness of breath, some ecchymoses, and marked anasarca. Her liver was palpable four fingerbreadths below her costal margin. Laboratory findings included
OBJECTIVE
Some controversy exists concerning the appropriate surgical management for patients with thyroid cancer invading the laryngotracheal wall. We have used shaving of the wall when cancer invasion was confined to the perichondrium, and extensive resection when it invaded further. Preoperative
OBJECTIVE
Completion thyroidectomy is recommended in patients who have been diagnosed with differentiated thyroid cancer on histopathological evaluation, if their first operation was a conservative approach. The critical issue is when to do the second operation.
METHODS
The medical records of 66
BACKGROUND
Thyroidectomy is a standard treatment for thyroid cancers. Hoarseness due to the paralysis of the recurrent laryngeal nerve is one of the most common postoperative complications, and has been studied by many investigators. However, voice quality after thyroidectomy in patients in whom
Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma presenting initially as a hypervascular mass is exceedingly rare. The objective of this paper was to present the rare pathology along with the utilization of multimodal imaging to establish a correct diagnosis along with current management and review of
