ABSTRACT

Introduction: Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is considered a rare and uncommon malignancy. Its prevalence is about 0.005% of all cancers. Intrathyroidal location is rare, rendering preoperative diagnosis tedious. Until now, around 700 cases of PC have been documented, reportedly, among them, less than 21 cases of intrathyroidal parathyroid carcinoma have been described in the literature. We report a case of intrathyroidal PC that was taken for a suspicious thyroid nodule, with a literature review.PRESENTATION OF THE CASE: Our case is an asymptomatic intrathyroidal PC imitating a suspicious thyroid nodule, in a 54-year-old woman. A literature review was performed about clinical, radiological features, histopathological findings, and therapeutic options. Discussion: The diagnosis of asymptomatic intrathyroidal parathyroid carcinoma, similar to our case report, is even more difficult, our patient had no symptoms of hypercalcemia. Surgery is the cornerstone of the treatment. A better chance to cure this disease is conditioned by complete surgical resection with negative margins microscopically, that was the case of our patient with a very good clinical course after 12 months of follow-up.

ABSTRACT

Compressive goitre is a public health emergency due to the risk of asphyxia caused by compression of bronchial tree. We report the case of a 48-year-old female patient presenting to the emergency department with laryngeal dyspnea due to compressive goitre. We conducted a study and a literature review focusing on the clinical and radiological features of compressive goitre and different treatment options. The management of a patient with compressive goitre is difficult and must be rapid, due to the high risk of asphyxia. It requires a multidisciplinary approach of an experienced surgical team, including ENT and thoracic surgeons.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Cavernous hemangioma is a venous malformation that occurs throughout the entire body but is rarely localized in internal jugular vein, to the best of our knowledge our case is the first case reported in the literature. CASE REPORT: We report a case of internal jugular vein cavernous hemangioma in a 62-year-old woman and review the literature concerning the clinical features, radiological appearance, histopathological findings and treatment options. DISCUSSION: Internal jugular vein cavernous hemangioma, is a very rare tumor composed of large dilated blood vessels and containing large blood-filled spaces. It can occur as lateral neck mass, in our case neither the scanner nor the ultrasound made the diagnosis. Given the rarity of the condition, therapeutic strategies remain unclear. However, according to the published literature, complete resection is considered the most successful and effective treatment.
