Autonomously functioning thyroid nodules (AFTNs) represent ∼5% of all thyroid nodules and often necessitate definitive treatments such as surgery or radioiodine (I), both of which have inherent risks. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has emerged as an effective and safe therapeutic option for managing AFTNs. This study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of RFA for solitary AFTNs in various countries across Latin America.

Introduction: Thyroid diseases affect approximately 42 million people in India. The majority (15%-40%) of these cases remain asymptomatic and benign and warrant special investigations such as ultrasonography (USG) and fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for diagnosis. Early diagnosis and management of thyroid disorders determine the disease course in many patients.

Thyroid nodular disease can present in different forms, such as a solitary nodule, multinodular goiter, nodular goiter caused by autoimmune goiter, and nonpalpable thyroid nodules. Among children, thyroid cancer is the most common type of endocrine cancer. Pediatric thyroid cancer is usually detected as a neck mass without any symptoms, leading to variable stages of progression when diagnosed.

We present a case of a patient with simultaneous cervical lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and cecum neuroendocrine tumor (NET). A 45-year-old male patient with the diagnosis of metastatic NET of the cecum underwent fine needle aspiration (FNA) of a positron emission tomography with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG PET) positive nodule in the left thyroid lobe. Due to FNA finding suspect of PTC, the patient underwent total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection.

Thyroid nodules are exceedingly common in the general population and their increasing incidence appears to be secondary to incidental finding on imaging. Nonetheless, due to the potential for malignancy and thyroid dysfunction, most thyroid nodules require further investigation. Although there are no current guidelines for thyroid cancer screening in asymptomatic patients, a thorough history and physical which focuses on risk factors can serve as a good starting point during the evaluation of a thyroid nodule.

The identification of thyroid cancer may be conducted through clinical detection, imaging method, and histopathological examination. Both solitary nodules and multinodular goiter are associated with malignancy. To assess the risk factors for malignancy among patients with multinodular goiter submitted to total thyroidectomy.

In patients with solitary thyroid nodules, the first course of action is to determine whether the nodule is benign or malignant. Many investigations are used to differentiate between benign and malignant nodules so as to avoid surgery in those who don't need it. Among these, FNAC and USG are commonly used in association with clinical features but there are drawbacks of each technique.

It is uncertain whether the presence of autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) increases the risk of thyroid cancer in children with thyroid nodules. This study evaluated the association between AIT and thyroid cancer in pediatric patients with thyroid nodules. A cross-sectional study was performed of pediatric patients (<19 years old) with a thyroid nodule (≥1 cm) who underwent fine-needle aspiration in an academic pediatric thyroid center.

Objective: Thyroid dermopathy (TD), reportedly encountered in less than 5% of patients with Graves' disease (GD), is supposed to coexist only with thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO). However, clinically inapparent TD, detected non-invasively by thermal imaging or ultrasonography, seems to be present in a larger proportion of GD. Histopathological examination (HPE), though considered as gold standard for detecting TD, has not been performed widely to identify subclinical TD in GD.

Objective: Distant metastases from papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) are relatively rare and may be associated with a poor prognosis. The adrenal gland is a highly unusual site of metastasis in the natural course of PTC. Herein, we describe a case of an incidentally detected metastatic solid variant of PTC in the adrenal gland of an asymptomatic patient as the initial presentation.
