Rationale: Thyroid hemangioma is benign and associated with fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy or trauma in most cases. Its differential diagnosis is very difficult.
Patient Concerns: We presented the case of a 48-year-old man complained of slowly progressed swelling in the anterior neck for 20 years.
Diagnoses: Ultrasound and CT scan revealed a hypoechogenic and heterogeneous mass measuring 4 × 3.5 cm located in the right lobe of thyroid gland. Postoperative pathological and immunohistochemical examinations of the surgical specimen revealed a primary hemangioma of the thyroid gland.
Interventions: The patient received a right lobectomy of the thyroid.
Outcomes: The patient had been followed up for 10 months after surgery without complications and remained asymptomatic.
Lessons: Primary thyroid hemangioma should be considered when there is a well-circumscribed capsule mass on medical imaging without history of FNA or any other cervical procedures or trauma.

'PHACE' on the 'face'.

Infantile haemangiomas are a common presentation in infants within the first few months of life. The majority of haemangiomas are benign; however, large haemangiomas (≥5 cm), especially those involving the face, may indicate a more serious underlying neurocutaneous disorder known as PHACE (Posterior fossa malformations, Haemangioma, Arterial anomalies, Coarctation of the aorta/Cardiac defects and Eye abnormalities) syndrome. The authors report an unusual case of possible PHACE syndrome in a young male toddler with a large facial haemangioma.

Purpose: We aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of 68Ga-FAPI-04 (FAPI) in comparison to 68Ga-DOTATATE (SSTR) PET/CT for patients presenting with recurrent medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC).
Patients And Methods: Sixteen MTC patients with elevated calcitonin levels (>150 pg/mL) underwent FAPI and SSTR PET/CT. Two nuclear medicine physicians evaluated all images, categorizing lesions into locoregional metastases, mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs), liver, and bone metastases.

Conservative Management of a Slow-Flow Orbital Cavernous Hemangioma: A Case Report.
Cureus
October 2024
Radiology, Salmaniya Medical Complex, Manama, BHR.
Article Synopsis
- Orbital cavernous hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors in the eye area for adults, often causing painless bulging of the eye over time, as seen in a case involving a 37-year-old woman with progressive left eye proptosis over six months.
- Diagnosis involved physical exams, lab tests, and imaging (ultrasound and MRI), confirming a 2.5 cm hemangioma without optic nerve compression or visual disturbances.
- Conservative management is preferred for these tumors when symptoms are minimal, with regular follow-ups necessary, while surgery is reserved for more severe cases.

Introduction: Ectopic thyroid tissue (ETT) occurs due to abnormal embryogenesis of the thyroid gland. Ectopic thyroid tissue is susceptible to all the processes that affect normal thyroid tissue, including malignant transformation. Malignancy of ectopic thyroid tissue is known as the exceedingly rare phenomenon of ectopic thyroid carcinoma (ETC).
