Metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the thyroid with cervicothoracic venous tumor thrombosis.

Introduction: Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents 25%-42% of metastatic thyroid malignancies. Propensity for RCC to demonstrate intravascular extension to the inferior vena cava is well documented. We present an analogous phenomenon of intravascular extension to the internal jugular vein (IJV) from thyroid gland metastasis.

Thyroid Abscess: A Case Series and Literature Review.

Objective: In this retrospective case series, we chronicle six patients presenting with acute suppurative thyroiditis (AST) with progression to thyroid abscess in a single institution.

Methods: Patients ranged in age from 16 to 74 years of age. The most common presenting symptoms were progressive unilateral neck pain, swelling, and odynophagia.

Thyroidectomy Outcomes in Patients Identified With RET Pathogenic Variants Through a Population Genomic Screening Program.

Importance: Population-based genomic screening can facilitate early detection of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in patients with pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) RET variants.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical treatment and patient outcomes after identification of P/LP RET proto-oncogene variants associated with the risk of MTC via a population genomic screening program.

Design, Setting, Participants: This retrospective cross-sectional study was completed between June 1, 2016, and May 31, 2022, for a mean follow-up period of 22.

Update on primary head and neck mucosal melanoma.

Primary mucosal melanomas (PMMs) of the head and neck are uncommon malignancies that arise mainly in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, followed by the oral cavity. The mainstay of treatment is radical surgical resection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy in selected patients with high-risk features. Multimodality therapy has not been well studied and is not standardized.

Impact of prophylactic central neck dissection on oncologic outcomes of papillary thyroid carcinoma: a review.

Prophylactic neck dissection (PND) for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is controversial. Our aim was to assess current levels of evidence (LE) according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine ( http://www.cebm.
