Coexistence of Papillary Thyroid Cancer and Primary Hyperparathyroidism: Report of Five Cases.

Coincidence of primary hyperparathyroidism and thyroid nodules is quite frequent. This is challenging for clinical diagnosis and treatment. We reviewed the records of patients who underwent surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism.

Follow-up of granulomatous mastitis with monitoring versus surgery.

Background: IGM (Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis) is a rare, chronic, non-malignant and non-life-threatening breast disease. Clinically and radiologically, it has similar characteristics with other granulomatous diseases and breast carcinomas.

Methods: The patients whom diagnosed IGM according to pathology report were retrospectively evaluated between November 2014 and January 2016.

Concomitant thyroid cancer in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism in an endemic goitre region.

Objective: Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is often accompanied by underlying thyroid pathology and 1 to 36% of these thyroid pathologies are malignant. How the identification of these lesions affects patient management is unclear. We present a single-center experience with the prevalence of concomitant thyroid cancer in patients who underwent parathyroidectomy for pHPT.
