We present a case of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland with pulmonary metastases in a 5 year old boy. The child also suffered from atresia of the gallbladder and the common bile ducts with biliary cirrhosis of the liver and died from hepatic insufficiency. Possible correlations between childhood thyroid carcinoma and congenital malformations are discussed.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with a complex etiology primarily linked to abnormalities in B lymphocytes within the human body, resulting in the production of numerous pathogenic autoantibodies. Telitacicept is a relatively novel humanized, recombinant transmembrane activator, calcium modulator and cyclophilin ligand interactor fused with the Fc portion (TACI-Fc). It works by competitively inhibiting the TACI site, neutralizing the activity of B-cell lymphocyte stimulator and A proliferation-inducing ligand.

Background: Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid (PSCCT) has recently been reclassified as a morphologic pattern of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). Consequently, PSCCT and squamous cell carcinoma with papillary thyroid carcinoma (SCC-PTC) were categorized as ATC. However, in terms of clinical characteristics and overall prognosis, whether PSCCT is similar to SCC-PTC has yet to be sufficiently investigated.

Department of Pathology, MGM Medical College, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.

Introduction: Thyroid neoplasms are the most common malignancy of the endocrine system, representing 3.8% of new cancer cases, and it is the ninth most common cancer overall. The immuno-histochemical marker Hector Battifora Mesotheilial-1 (HBME-1) is a monoclonal antibody that now finds its diagnostic utility as a positive marker for well-differentiated thyroid carcinomas.

Introduction: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has an excellent prognosis, but few cases are treatment-resistant. To check the applicability of combined and MEK-targeted therapy, the current study correlated with the MAPK pathway activation status in a cohort of PTCs. The prognostic relevance of and the usability of immunohistochemistry (IHC) for detecting the mutation were also assessed.

Objective: To investigate the relationship of pretreatment of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) (central LNM (CLNM) and lateral LNM (LLNM)) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients with ≤ 55 years old.

Methods: Clinicopathological data (CTCs level, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, thyroid function, multifocal, tumor size, invaded capsule, clinical stage, and LNM) of 588 PTC patients with ≤ 55 years old were retrospectively collected. The relationship of CLNM, LLNM and the clinical features of patients was analyzed.
