Thyroid nodules are common yet remain a diagnostic challenge. While ultrasound and Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (TIRADS) are accepted as standard, the use of thyroid scintigraphy in euthyroid patients is debated. The European Association of Nuclear Medicine advocates it, whereas the American Thyroid Association and European Thyroid Association do not.

Background/objective: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is an uncommon thyroid cancer (TC), rarely found in hyperfunctioning goiter.
Case Report: We present a case of a woman treated for breast carcinoma (BCA) found to have a benign hyperfunctioning nodular goiter, its likely transformation to MTC, and its treatment. Family history revealed papillary thyroid cancer in her nephew.

Objective: The field of endocrine surgery has been expanding its minimally invasive techniques to treat a wide range of thyroid pathologies. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is one targeted thermal therapy that has been identified as safe and effective for the treatment of benign pathologies as an alternative to surgery. We have employed RFA at our institution and are reporting our experience with this techniques safety, efficacy, and considerations in the treatment of toxic adenomas and multinodular goiters.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of F-fluorocholine PET/CT imaging in locating hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) when other imaging methods were inconclusive.
- Out of 167 patients, F-fluorocholine PET/CT identified 92.81% of lesions, showing high sensitivity and accuracy, leading to successful surgical interventions.
- Post-surgery, patients experienced a significant reduction in parathyroid hormone levels, confirming the imaging's reliability for preoperative planning in pHPT cases.
Surgical versus non-surgical management of hyperfunctional thyroid metastasis: a case report.

Background: Hyperthyroidism, caused by metastatic differentiated thyroid cancer, is a rare condition that can be difficult to diagnose. Thyrotoxicosis and metastatic disease regarding functional metastasis increase morbidity and mortality in patients with functional metastasis and need to be treated. This study aims to present a case of hyper-functional metastasis of thyroid cancer to analyze its pathological features, diagnostic procedures, and treatment options and to gather and examine recent cases of hyper-functional metastasis of thyroid cancer.
