Introduction. Surgeon has significant role in the management of such rare and controversial clinical entities related to thyroid gland. In this case report we have presented an elderly patient with rapid enlargement in thyroid that was related to carcinosarcoma.Case Presentation. A 60-year-old lady was presented with rapid enlargement of the thyroid gland. A fine needle aspiration of the nodule in right lobe was performed several weeks before presentation to our clinic. End diagnosis was a papillary carcinoma of the thyroid with spindle cell component. Thus the nodule was recognized to be a carcinosarcoma.Conclusion. Thyroid surgery merits a multidisciplinary approach. Indeed the surgeon should make a conclusive decision in some controversial and rare clinical entities such as carcinosarcoma.

A rare case of primary non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in a 52-year-old female presented with a large mass in the right lobe of thyroid. The diagnosis was established by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) followed by surgery andfinally confirmed by histopathology.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jom.v14i1.14584 J MEDICINE 2013; 14 : 83-84

Abstract Background Thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA) is the procedure of choice in the management of thyroid nodules. Acute thyroid swelling after FNA is a rare complication and is reported in a finite number of literatures. To the best of our knowledge, only seven reported cases exist in literatures. This study describes an addition case with an acute thyroid swelling after FNA, as well as puts forward a new hypothesis of this phenomenon. Case presentation The case is presented of a 30-year-old female with an acute thyroid swelling after FNA, with funicular hypoechoic lesions in thyroid gland. The size of thyroid was 1.5-fold enlarged in the unilateral thyroid gland. No complains of pain or other discomforts with her and no signs of hemorrhage were found along the passage of the fine needle. The episode was recovered spontaneously. Conclusions An acute thyroid swelling is a rare complication of FNA. A hypothesis of anaphylactic reaction was suggested in our study. Physicians should pay more attention of this phenomenon and more information is needed to support our hypothesis.

Paratesticular rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) are very rare malignant tumors arising from the mesenchymal tissues of tunica, epididymis or spermatic cord. They present as painless hard masses in inguinoscrotal region, and large tumors can be mistaken for testicular tumors. They can spread to retroperitoneal lymph nodes or hematogenously metastasize to lung, bones and bone marrow. Here, we report a case of Embryonal RMS with spindle cell component presenting with painless scrotal mass and lung metastasis at initial diagnosis.
