The objective of the current study was to determine the risk of malignancy in patients with thyroid nodules with cytology of indeterminate follicular and indeterminate Hürthle cell neoplasm (HN). The cytologic diagnosis of follicular neoplasm (FN) or HN remains a diagnostic challenge. Often, surgery is recommended for such lesions. A retrospective analysis was performed on 80 patients who underwent thyroid surgery following a diagnosis of indeterminate FN and indeterminate HN in thyroid fine-needle aspiration biopsy. Sex; age; family history of thyroid cancer and radiation exposure; coexisting thyroid conditions, such as solitary nodule; multinodularity; cytologic diagnosis; sonographic features; type of surgical treatment; and histopathologic results were recorded. Of the 80 patients, 52 (65%) had FN on fine-needle aspiration biopsy cytology and 28 (35%) had HN. A total of 23 patients (28.7%) had primary thyroid cancers on surgical pathology, and 57 (71.3%) had benign diagnoses. Univariate analysis showed no differences between the benign and malignant groups by sex, nodule size, family history of thyroid cancer, history of radiation exposure, presence of solitary nodule or multinodularity in the nodular features. In multivariate binary logistic regression analysis, the factors that were statistically significant predictors of malignancy were microcalcification [odds ratio (OR), 10.9; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.18–54.7; P = 0.004], being older than 45 years (OR, 4.2; 95% CI, 1.25–14.63; P = 0.02]. The independent predictors of malignancy in FN and HN are micorcalcification and being older than 45 years, the use of which may predict the risk of thyroid cancer.

Primary nodular amyloidosis of the lung is an uncommon manifestation. The disease runs a benign course, but offers diagnostic problems due to non-specific radiological features entering the big field of the solitary nodule. We describe the case of a 60 year old man with multiple nodules on the left lung operated on diagnostic and therapeutic video-assisted thoracoscopy and discuss the possibilities, if any, of suspecting such a disease through radiologic characteristics along with findings from the patient’s history, physical examination and laboratory tests.

The thyroid is a vascular endocrine gland with two lateral lobes connected by a narrow, median isthmus. Although a wide range of congenital anomalies of the thyroid gland has been reported in the literature, agenesis of the thyroid isthmus is a very rare congenital anomaly. Thyroid isthmus agenesis does not manifest clinical symptoms, and it can be confused with other thyroid pathologies. We describe a patient with no isthmus of the thyroid, associated with Graves-Basedow disease. Thyroid isthmus agenesis should be kept in mind in order for surgical procedures involving thyroid pathologies to be carried out safely.

<p>Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive and uncommon neuroendocrine tumor which clinically presents as a rapidly growing solitary nodule or plaque located in sun exposed areas on the head, neck, and extremities. Merkel cell carcinomas can be UV-induced or result from viral infection with the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV). We present a unique case of bilateral symmetric Merkel cell carcinomas located on the dorsal hands and briefly discuss options for genomic investigation to delineate if the tumors are multiple primary tumors or result of metastatic disease.</p>
