Lipoblastomas are most commonly superficially-located tumors. Our experience with three examples of deep-seated lipoblastomas is reported. The CT scans of all cases showed low-attenuation densities (less than 0 Hansfield units), strongly suggesting fatty composition. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) smears contained uni- and multivacuolated lipoblasts, myxoid areas, and a plexiform capillary network. The combination of CT scan and FNAB findings seems to be enough for definitive preoperative diagnosis of lipoblastoma, allowing differential diagnosis with other deep-seated tumors.

Intimal sarcoma of blood vessels is a rare, aggressive tumor originating from vascular endothelial cells. This report presents a 22-year-old male diagnosed with an intimal sarcoma of the lower pulmonary vein, detailing diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis information. Additionally, this report explores the application application of Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration (EBUS-FNA) alongside with Rapid Remote Online Evaluation (ROLE) for identifying a mass-like lesion in the pulmonary vein.

Introduction Thyroid malignancy remains a significant global health concern, making the accurate differentiation between benign and malignant thyroid nodules crucial for optimal patient management. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the gold-standard preoperative diagnostic tool, and The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology provides a standardized framework for interpretation. This 10-year retrospective study evaluated the malignancy risk in surgically treated patients with thyroid nodules classified as Bethesda Category III by comparing FNAC findings with histopathological outcomes.

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most frequent thyroid malignancy. Recently, the incidence has become widespread among both male and female individuals worldwide. In this article, we aim to report a 32-year-old Saudi female who presented with a painless lateral neck mass for more than seven months, and on excisional biopsy, was found to have features of PTC.

Background: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is the most common pediatric thyroid malignancy, with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) representing 90% of the cases. In 2015, the American Thyroid Association (ATA) developed management guidelines for pediatric DTC.
Procedure: Patients less than 21 years of age diagnosed with DTC between 2000 and 2015 at Texas Children's Hospital, Seattle Children's Hospital, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Children's Hospital Colorado, and Nationwide Children's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate treatment practices before the implementation of the ATA guidelines.

There has been remarkable growth in our understanding of the biologic behavior and molecular signature of thyroid malignancies, which has led to the introduction, application, and evolution of molecular testing of thyroid nodule FNA cytology. Next-generation sequencing molecular testing is an important, well-validated diagnostic tool for management of cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules. It reduces unnecessary thyroid surgery for benign disease, avoiding associated surgical risks for the patient and reducing healthcare expenses.
