We describe a case of histologically proven osteoma of the thyroid cartilage that presented because of difficulty in intubation prior to coronary bypass surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case in the English literature.

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a colorectal cancer (CRC) predisposition syndrome characterized by the presence of numerous colorectal adenomatous polyps, resulting from a single germline, heterozygous, likely pathogenic/pathogenic (LP/P) variant in the APC gene, an important tumor suppressor encoding gene. Classic FAP is considered in individuals with a germline LP/P variant in APC and have ≥100 colorectal adenomatous polyps beginning on average in adolescence, while attenuated FAP typically presents with fewer colorectal adenomatous polyps (10-<100 polyps) in adulthood. Both forms can feature extracolonic manifestations, such as desmoid tumors, thyroid cancer, and osteomas.

Prevalence and Radiographic Features of Head and Neck Soft Tissue Calcifications on Digital Panoramic Radiographs: A Retrospective Study.

Department of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, Baris Medical Imaging Center, Izmir, TUR.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the prevalence and characteristics of incidental soft tissue calcifications (STCs) in head and neck regions using panoramic radiographs from over 9,500 patients.
- Findings reveal that 35.8% of the examined radiographs showed STCs, with common types including ossified stylohyoid complex, thyroid cartilage, and tonsilloliths, and their occurrence was more frequent in middle-aged females.
- The research highlights that certain calcifications are linked with other conditions, indicating that recognizing STCs can aid in diagnosing potential health issues.
Early Diagnosis of Pseudohypoparathyroidism before the Development of Hypocalcemia in a Young Infant.
Children (Basel)
May 2022
Department of Pediatrics, Yeungnam University School of Medicine, Yeungnam University Hospital, Daegu 42415, Korea.
Article Synopsis
- Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a rare disorder where the body resists parathyroid hormone, leading to high PTH levels and low calcium but can initially show no symptoms in infants.
- A 1-month-old girl was evaluated for elevated TSH levels and later found to have skin nodules linked to PHP through a biopsy, highlighting the condition's characteristics.
- Genetic testing confirmed a specific mutation in both the girl and her mother, leading to an early PHP Ia diagnosis despite normal calcium and phosphorus levels, stressing the importance of careful examinations in patients with hypothyroidism.
