Importance Although most thyroid nodules are benign, 10% to 15% of them harbor cancer. Thyroid ultrasonography is useful for risk stratification nodules, and American College Radiology Imaging Reporting Data System (ACR TI-RADS) classification provides recommendations fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) based on objective ultrasonographic features these nodules. Objective To validate the concordance ACR TI-RADS with Bethesda histopathology. Design, Setting, Participants This retrospective...
Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland (PSCCTh) and anaplastic with extensive differentiation are rare entities which pose a diagnostic challenge in determining primary site when presented as metastases. The difficulty confirming is further compounded by aggressive nature these tumours frequently present at advanced stages. We case patient mass lung simultaneously. risk misinterpreting tumour greatly increased because much more common than its counterpart. This highlights...

Peripheral vascular disease is commonly associated with concomitant coronary heart and congestive failure.
Background: Postoperative hypocalcemia is a common complication of thyroid surgery.Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels are useful adjunct in predicting the likelihood developing hypocalcemia.This can be used identifying patients suitable for early discharge.However, there has been no consensus on ideal timing postoperative serum PTH.Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed 122 who underwent completion or total thyroidectomy from January 2013 to October 2017.Patient's preexisting...
Background: Prophylactic central compartment clearance has been a debate for early papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).The American Thyroid Association recommends total thyroidectomy alone small tumors without clinical nodes.However, we note high incidence of nodal disease within our practice.This study aims to evaluate the metastatic nodes in (<4 cm) PTC.Secondary included postoperative hypoparathyroidism and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury.Materials methods: A retrospective cohort was...
Abstract Background The objective of the study was to evaluate quality life (QOL) head and neck cancer survivors after treatment identify patients’ main concerns. also aims establish pre-treatment reference values particularly for Asian patient. European Organization Research Treatment Cancer Quality Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Head Neck module QLQ-HN35) were used evaluation. Methods Patients planned elective surgery cancers enrolled in study. questionnaires completed at 6...
