Abstract: Usefulness of preoperative tissue sampling and pathology diagnoses in thyroid tumors were accepted worldwide. We investigate the role of Core needle biopsy (CNB) in the thyroid nodules lesions when FNA results are nondiagnostic. We conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate twenty-six CNBs results of suspicious malignant thyroid nodules with nondiagnostic repeated fine needle aspiration. 25 from 26 CNBs were diagnostic. Twenty-one needle biopsy reports were papillary thyroid carcinoma, three CNB samples diagnosed medullary thyroid carcinoma and one of them had anaplastic results. All diagnostic needle biopsies results were compatible with final pathology. Our study would suggest CNB a safe and efficient method for investigating thyroid nodules while repeated FNA yielded nondiagnostic results.

Background: The coexistence of primary glomerulonephritis and autoimmune thyroid disease has not been investigated.
Objective: This study aimed to assess thyroid morphology using sonography, determine the prevalence of autoimmune thyroid disorders, and evaluate thyroid function status in patients diagnosed with primary glomerulonephritis.
Materials And Methods: This single-center cross-sectional and observational study included 58 consecutive patients with primary glomerulonephritis and 58 healthy controls (HC).

The genomic fusions of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase () gene have been widely recognized as effective therapeutic targets for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). The Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University has treated 2 NSCLC patients with 2 distinct novel gene fusions. Case 1 was a 55-year-old male with a solid nodule located in the right hilar lobe on enhanced CT scan.

Background: While most thyroid nodules are benign, 7-15% are malignant. Patients with indeterminate thyroid nodules (specifically Bethesda IV/Thy3f) often undergo diagnostic hemithyroidectomy to reach a diagnosis on final histology. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of circulating large extracellular vesicles as diagnostic biomarkers in patients presenting with Thy3f thyroid nodules.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive treatment modality used as an alternative to surgery in patients with benign thyroid nodules, recurrent thyroid cancers (RTCs), and primary thyroid microcarcinomas. The Korean Society of Thyroid Radiology (KSThR) initially developed recommendations for the optimal use of RFA for thyroid tumors in 2009 and revised them in 2012 and 2017. As new meaningful evidence has accumulated since 2017 and in response to a growing global interest in the use of RFA for treating malignant thyroid lesions, the task force committee members of the KSThR decided to update the guidelines on the use of RFA for the management of RTCs based on a comprehensive analysis of current literature and expert consensus.

A 64-year-old woman underwent initial 18F-FDG PET/CT staging for a suspicious endometrial mass, which showed high uptake in the endometrial mass and a focal uptake in a known left thyroid nodule. Histology revealed a high-grade large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the endometrium with FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) stage Ib. Further explorations revealed a synchronous thyroid metastasis.
