ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Reportar el caso poco frecuente de una paciente de 49 años con bocio recidivante y presencia simultánea de tres tipos histológicos de cáncer tiroideo. Caso clínico: Paciente femenina de 49 años de edad, con presencia de bocio recidivante. Sin historia de irradiación de cabeza o cuello, ni otros antecedentes personales o familiares de neoplasias endocrinas u otras. Se realizó tiroidectomía subtotal en el año 1986 por entidad benigna, sin terapia sustitutiva con L-tiroxina. Consultó por bocio deformante con sintomatología compresiva e hipotiroidismo bioquímico (TSH:50uUI/mL y T4L:0.03 ng/dL). La PAF reportó probable carcinoma papilar. El ultrasonido tiroideo (UST) mostró recidiva de bocio multinodular de 16,8 cc de volumen, con múltiples adenomegalias cervicales laterales izquierdas. Se realizó TAC de cuello y tórax apreciándose: lesión lobulada en el lóbulo izquierdo con extensión al mediastino antero lateral. La RX de tórax fue normal. Se realizó tiroidectomía total con disección radical modificada del lado izquierdo del cuello y de los niveles del II al VI. La histología postoperatoria mostró: a) tiroiditis de Haschimoto, b) carcinoma mixto: área folicular, áreas papilares y áreas sólidas en las cuales destaca material rojo Congo positivo característico de amiloide compatible con carcinoma medular, c) ganglios cervicales izquierdos con metástasis de carcinoma de tiroides predominantemente medular y folicular, con pequeñas papilas d) ganglio mediastinal con metástasis de carcinoma folicular de tiroides. Se indicó terapia ablativa con 200 mCi de I131. La determinación de calcitonina sérica fue de 1.282 pg/mL y el UST posquirúrgico mostró LOE vascularizado retroesternal y para medial izquierdo. Ante la persistencia tumoral se planificó nueva cervicotomía para completar disección ganglionar del nivel VII, con hallazgos histológicos de carcinoma medular. Se indicó levotiroxine y cumplieron 30 sesiones de radioterapia. Calcitonina ...


Abstract Objectives: to report an unusual case of a 49 year old patient with recurrent goiter and the simultaneous presence of three types of histological thyroid cancer. Clinical Case: A 49 year old female patient, with the presence of recurrent goiter. There was no history of head or neck irradiation, nor a family or personal history of endocrine neoplasia or others. A subtotal thyroidectomy was preformed in 1986 for benign tumor, without medication of substitutive therapy with L-tiroxine. There was a recurrence of the goiter which was deformant with compressive symptoms and biochemical hypothyroidism (TSH:50uUI/mL and T4L:0.03 ng/dL), the fine needle aspiration biopsy reported possible papillary carcinoma. The thyroid ultrasound revealed a right thyroid lobe with volume greater than 16.8 cc, with multiple cervical lymph nodes to the left side with extensions to the lateral anterior mediastinum. The x-ray of the thorax was normal. A total thyroidectomy was performed with modified radical dissection to the left side of the neck of the levels II to VI. The histological results showed: a) Hashimoto thyroiditis, b) mixed carcinoma: follicular, papillary and solid areas with affinity for congo red dye which is characteristic of amyloid compatible with medullary carcinoma, c) left cervical lymph nodes with metastases of thyroid carcinoma predominantly medullary and follicular carcinoma and d) mediastinal lymph node metastases of follicular carcinoma of thyroid . Radioiodine therapy was performed with 200 mCi of I131. The serum calcitonin was 1282 pg/mL and post-surgical ultrasound of the thyroid showed vascularity and retroesternal LOE, since there was persistence of the tumor, a new cervicothomy was performed to complete the dissection of the lymph nodes from level VII, with histological findings of medullary carcinoma. Levothyroxine therapy was indicated and thirty sessions of radioactive therapy were completed, with levels of post-radioactive calcitonin of 30 pg/mL, TSH 0.3uUI/mL, T4L:1.8 ng/dL and Thyreoglobulin: 14 ng/dL. Conclusions: The simultaneous occurrence of thyroid carcinoma with different histological types in the same individual is a very rare situation. We present a case of papillary, medulary, and follicular carcinoma, all simultaneous in a recurrent goiter.
