Nontoxic adenomatous multinodular goiter (AMNG) in infants is a rare condition. We discuss an extremely rare case of a nontoxic AMNG in a 3-month-old female presenting with airway obstruction. Surgical resection of the mass was performed to reduce the burden on the airway and for diagnosis. The literature is reviewed, and the clinical characteristics, pathology, and surgical treatment are discussed.

Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) is a hereditary disorder caused by germline inactivating mutations in the PTEN tumor suppressor gene. As a type of PHTS, Cowden syndrome is associated with abnormalities of the thyroid, breast, uterus, and gastrointestinal tract. A 52-year-old-woman visited the outpatient clinic of our endocrinology clinic with multiple thyroid nodules and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

A Cancer Rainbow mouse line that expresses 3 fluorescently labeled isoforms of the tumor-driver gene (HER2BOW) was developed recently for the study of tumorigenesis in the mammary gland. The expression of 1 of the 3 HER2 isoforms in HER2BOW mice is induced through the Cre/ system. However, in addition to developing palpable mammary tumors, HER2BOW mice developed orbital tumors, specifically of the Harderian gland.

We encountered a 70-year-old Japanese woman with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who had a history of pheochromocytoma and concurrently developed adenomatous goiter, primary hyperparathyroidism, and acromegaly. The patient had a somatotroph adenoma of the adenohypophysis that predisposed her to multinodular goiter. Three parathyroid tumors were detected by cervical ultrasonography and cervicothoracic computed tomography.

Introduction: Germline DICER1 mutations have recently been identified in familial multinodular goitre (MNG). The natural history of thyroid nodules in DICER1 carriers in children is unclear. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical and genetic findings of childhood-onset MNG with DICER1 carrier in a patient who underwent total thyroidectomy.
