Article Synopsis
- * Ultrasound is the preferred imaging technique for evaluating submandibular gland issues, revealing features like hypoechoic lesions that may indicate malignancy; smaller low-grade tumors can sometimes appear benign.
- * Early ultrasound-guided core biopsy is crucial for accurate diagnosis when a suspicious lesion is found, facilitating timely management of potential metastatic disease.
Introduction: Hobnail papillary thyroid carcinoma is a rare, recently described papillary thyroid carcinoma variant, with potential for a more aggressive clinical course of disease and poorer prognosis.
Case Report: A 53-year-old man presented with a left thyroid mass. The ultrasound features of this mass included a predominantly cystic appearance with mobile internal echoes, vascularised internal septations, and murally based solid material.
A 45-year-old man presenting with abdominal pain was found to have severe hypercalcaemia with elevated parathyroid hormone. Investigations revealed a parathyroid mass and bone metastases consistent with metastatic parathyroid carcinoma. The patient underwent parathyroidectomy, with histology confirming a right inferior parathyroid carcinoma.
