Characteristics, staging and outcomes of differentiated thyroid cancer in patients with and without Graves' disease.

Background: The incidence of thyroid cancer has increased over the last three decades with studies showing incidence of thyroid cancer is higher among patients with Graves' Disease (GD) when compared to Toxic multinodular goiter. We conducted a retrospective study to further investigate characteristics and outcomes in patients with thyroid cancer and GD.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 62 patients with a diagnosis of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (DTC).

Pure Androgen-Secreting Radiologically Suspicious Adrenal Mass: Benign or Malignant?

Pure androgen-secreting adrenocortical tumors (PASATs) are rare entities. Their clinical presentations include virilizing features that vary based on age and gender. The pathogenesis of this tumor is still unclear, with around 50% of such tumors being malignant.

Lithium-Induced Hyperparathyroidism: An Ill-defined Territory.

Lithium is the gold standard treatment for bipolar disorder. Studies have shown an association between lithium and hyperparathyroidism. However, there is limited data regarding the management of lithium-induced hyperparathyroidism.

Late Gadolinium Enhancement Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation of Post-Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Esophageal Thermal Injury Across the Spectrum of Severity.

Background Esophageal thermal injury (ETI) is a byproduct of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation using thermal sources. The most severe form of ETI is represented by atrioesophageal fistula, which has a high mortality rate. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows identification of ETI.
