ABSTRACT Hemiagenesis is the least frequent thyroid congenital anomaly. We report the case of a primary hypothyroidism due to thyroid hemiagenesis in a patient for whom, later on, a papillary carcinoma of the contralateral lobe was diagnosed. A child with known left lobe thyroid agenesis was found to have a 12 mm nodule in the right thyroid lobe during routine follow-up. Needle biopsy demonstrated the nodule to represent a papillary thyroid cancer and total thyroidectomy and lymphadenectomy of the central compartment was undertaken. Such event represents an extremely rare occurrence since there are only five other reports in literature that deal with a papillary carcinoma in a patient with thyroid hemiagenesis.

Background. Thyroid carcinoma complicated by hemiagenesis is very rare, and previous reports have not described this cancer on the side of the absent lobe. Methods and Results. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman in whom left thyroid hemiagenesis was discovered incidentally during investigations of abnormal sensation during swallowing. A tumorous 1.4 cm lesion was also found on the side of the absent lobe, left of the isthmus. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy revealed class V papillary carcinoma, but no lymph node metastases. Total thyroidectomy was performed for stage cT1bN0M0 carcinoma. Histopathology revealed normal thyroid tissues in the right lobe and isthmus, while the left lobe was absent. The mostly papillary carcinoma was adjacent to the truncated thyroid tissue, with a portion histologically consistent with poorly differentiated carcinoma. Conclusions. All previously reported cases of thyroid cancer complicated by hemiagenesis have represented carcinoma occurring within the present lobe. This case is extremely rare.

AbstractObjectivePapillary thyroid carcinoma combined with thyroid mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is exceedingly rare and there is no standard management.Case reportWe report a rare association of MALT lymphoma of thyroid in a 60-year-old woman with Hashimoto's thyroiditis along with an incidental focus of papillary carcinoma.ConclusionPatients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis are prone to develop other thyroid pathology, including rare tumours such as MALT lymphoma. The differential diagnosis for a neoplasm in such patients should be wide.
