Intranodal thyroid inclusions revisited: a morphological analysis and application of BRAF VE1 immunohistochemistry.

Aims: The diagnosis of intranodal thyroid inclusions (ITIs) is controversial. We aim to investigate their clinicopathologic features and utilize immunohistochemistry (IHC) to support the diagnosis.

Methods And Results: Forty-one cases of incidentally found ITIs between 2019 and 2023 were categorized into three groups, namely, Group A: thyroidectomy due to papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with regional lymph node dissection (n = 33), Group B: thyroidectomy due to benign thyroid disease with incidental perithyroid lymph node sampling (n = 4), and Group C: surgery due to other head and neck cancers with lateral neck lymph node dissection (n = 4).

Cryoglobulinemic glomerulonephritis with underlying occult HBV infection and Waldenström macroglobulinemia: A case report.

Introduction: Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, defined as negative hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) but detectable HBV DNA in serum and liver tissue, has very rarely been described in cryoglobulinemia (CG) patients. This case report sheds light on the possible link between occult HBV infection and CG.
