Papillary Carcinoma of Thyroglossal Duct Cyst- A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Conundrum.

Thyroglossal duct cysts (TGDC) are the most common congenital midline neck mass. It accounts for 70% of congenital neck masses in children and 7% in the general population. Untreated, Thyroglossal duct cyst may transform into a thyroid carcinoma in less than 1% of cases.

Standardization and quality profile of mix.

Wheat (T1) and maize (T2) based were formulated using chick pea, barley and other food adjuncts. Results revealed that, no significant difference was observed in the protein and ash content between control (chickpea basede mix) and T1. However, significant difference was observed between the control and T2 sample between moisture, fat, insoluble and total fiber, with the exception of protein, soluble fiber and ash.

A Rare Case Report of a Paratesticular Fibrous Pseudotumor Mimicking a Hydrocele.

Tumors arising in the spermatic cord are very rare. The common benign tumors of the spermatic cord include adenomatoid tumor, lipoma, neurofibroma, and leiomyoma. We report a rare case of fibrous pseudotumor of the spermatic cord presenting clinically as a hydrocele.

A Rare Case of Carcinoma in the Thyroglossal Duct Cyst of an Elderly Patient.

Thyroglossal duct cysts are the most common congenital abnormalities of the neck, constituting about 70% of all cervical neck masses in children and 7% of the adult population. The occurrence of carcinoma in a thyroglossal duct cyst is very rare (less than 1%). Malignancy of the thyroglossal duct cyst usually presents in the third or fourth decade of life.
