We report an unusual case of synchronous papillary carcinoma of thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) and thyroid gland. Here, the radiology findings, surgical approach and subsequent management, and pathology of an synchronous papillary carcinoma of TGDC and thyroid gland are described.

Common pancreatobiliary epithelial malignancies such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma and gallbladder carcinoma have poor prognosis. A small but significant portion of these malignancies arise from mass-forming grossly and radiologically visible premalignant epithelial neoplasms in the pancreatobiliary tree. Several lesions, including a few recently described entities, fall under this category and predominantly include papillary epithelial lesions with or without mucin production.

Article Synopsis
  • Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) by coordinating heart muscle segments, especially between papillary muscles, beyond just boosting left ventricular (LV) performance.
  • Eighteen patients with dilated cardiomyopathy underwent tests to measure heart function, and biventricular pacing showed a significant reduction in mitral regurgitation despite some patients showing no change in LV pressure.
  • The study concludes that CRT effectively lowers FMR independently of LV systolic function improvements, highlighting the importance of understanding its mechanisms for better treatment outcomes.

Background: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) are ubiquitous mesenchymal neoplasms of intermediate malignant potential. SFTs of the head and neck are rare, representing less than 0.1% of all SFTs.

Article Synopsis
  • - The case centers on a 67-year-old woman with both papillary and follicular thyroid carcinomas, initially diagnosed with thyrotoxicosis from Graves' disease, presenting with severe metastasis and invasive tumor growth.
  • - Investigation revealed multiple metastases, including intra-cardiac tumor thrombus and bone fractures, leading to a diagnosis of synchronous thyroid cancer types, yet the patient chose palliative care over aggressive treatment options.
  • - The case highlights the challenges in accurately diagnosing synchronous thyroid malignancies and the limitations of the ACR TI-RADS system in detecting certain ultrasonographic features that indicate cancer, especially in patients with Graves' disease.
