Ectopic thyroid tissue in the anterior mediastinum along with a normally located gland.

Ectopic thyroid tissue is a rare developmental abnormality arising from an aberration in the normal migration of the thyroid gland, from the floor of the primitive foregut to its final position. It is usually asymptomatic, often being diagnosed as an incidental finding. However, it can present with symptoms of compression such as chest pain, cough, stridor, dysphagia, dyspnea and superior vena cava syndrome.

Ectopic Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma with Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis as the Initial Presentation, Accompanied by Benign Thyroid Gland.

Background: Ectopic thyroid papillary carcinoma presenting as bilateral neck lymph nodes metastasis is very rare. Ectopic thyroid tissue may appear in any location along the trajectory of the thyroglossal duct from the foramen cecum to the mediastinum. It is subject to malignant transformation and is classically accompanied by a similar transformation of the native thyroid gland.

Demographic And Histopathological Characteristics Of Colorectal Polyps: A Descriptive Study Based On Samples Obtained From Symptomatic Patients: DEMOGRAFSKE IN HISTOPATOLOŠKE ZNAČILNOSTI KOLOREKTALNIH POLIPOV: DESKRIPTIVNA RAZISKAVA NA OSNOVI VZORCEV, PRIDOBLJENIH OD SIMPTOMATSKIH PACIENTOV.

Background: Colorectal polyps (CP) are common among individuals older than 50 years. Some polyp types can precede colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed at describing histopathological characteristics of colorectal polyps in relation to age and gender among symptomatic patients referred for a colonoscopy examination during 2011-2014 in Tirana, Albania.
