A RARE CASE OF PAPILLARY CARCINOMA OF THYROID WITH HYPERTHYROIDISM
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Thyroid cancer is usually found in a euthyroid patient, but symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism may be associated with a large or metastatic well differentiated carcinoma thyroid. Coexisting carcinoma and hyperthyroidism implying a focus of malignancy in a hyper functioning thyroid gland is more common. Absence of hyperplastic thyroid tissue on histology in the former differentiates the two conditions. While subtotal thyroidectomy is an adequate treatment for incidental small focus of malignancy, hyper functioning thyroid malignancy requires more aggressive treatment. We present a case of papillary carcinoma of thyroid presenting with hyperthyroidism. This case emphasizes the need for thorough evaluation of thyroid to exclude malignancy even in a clinical setting of hyperthyroidism.
