A case report of papillary carcinoma thyroid in 34 years old female patient
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Thyroid malignant tumors are rarely associated with hyperfunctioning thyroid. The incidence of this co-incidence is highly variable. Here we report a rare case of papillary thyroid cancer associated with hyperthyroidism with brief literature review. 34 years-old female, presented with palpitation, excess sweating and weight loss for two months duration. There was asymmetrical swelling of the neck, more on left side which moves with deglutition. The result of histopathological examination confirmed papillary thyroid carcinoma. Literature review has showed an increasing number of papers reporting the association of high level of thyroid function tests and thyroid malignancy. Although the coexistence of them is rare, thyroid malignancy should be put in the differential diagnosis of hyperthyroid goiter and we can conclude that histopathology is the gold standard for the confirm diagnosis.
