The co-occurrence of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is thought to be a rare phenomenon. Here, we present a patient undergoing surgery due to a suspected MTC. Histopathological workup confirmed the suspected diagnosis but also described an incidental PTC in the contralateral lobe with lymph node metastasis in the central cervical compartment.

Summary: Brain metastases as the first clinical presentation of a papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) are exceptional, while cavernous angiomas are common cerebral malformations. We report the case of a 36-year-old male with an incidental brain lesion mimicking a cavernous angioma on MRI. Gamma knife radiosurgery was performed, but after 6 months, the patient developed neurological symptoms, and a repeat brain MRI revealed a significant increase in the mass.

Background/objective: Follicular thyroid cancer without an intrathyroidal primary cancer is rare. We present a patient with multifocal pulmonary metastatic follicular thyroid cancer without apparent cancer within her thyroid.

A 75-year-old woman with papillary thyroid carcinoma who underwent 131 I radioiodine treatment was incidentally found to have an established left cerebral infarct demonstrating 131 I uptake on posttherapy whole-body scan. False-positive iodine accumulation can occur in benign processes and other malignancies, necessitating awareness among nuclear medicine physicians to avoid misdiagnosing metastatic disease. SPECT/CT can be utilized to enhance diagnostic accuracy when needed.

Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) contribute to more than 95% of thyroid malignancies. However, synchronous PTC and FTC are less common; it is most commonly discovered incidentally as synchronous malignancies during operation, which adds difficulties to intraoperative decision-making and postoperative treatment. Therefore, we analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with PTC and FTC in our center.
