Background: Fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient (FH-d) leiomyomas are included in the recent World Health Organization fascicle of the female genital tumors. These are known to be associated with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) syndrome. The tumors can be diagnosed based on certain histopathological features, along with loss of immunohistochemical expression of FH immunostain in most tumors.

Article Synopsis
- Subramanian Kannan’s study focuses on monitoring serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) levels in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) who underwent thyroid lobectomy or hemithyroidectomy in India, highlighting a gap in existing data.
- Of the 247 DTC patients reviewed from 2015 to 2020, 17 had lower tumor sizes and varied post-surgery Tg levels, with a median follow-up time of 15 months.
- The results showed mixed trends in Tg levels post-surgery; while most patients had Tg levels below 30 ng/mL, only 23% met the criteria for an "excellent response," suggesting challenges
