Tuberculosis has been reported in many parts of the human body but thyroid gland involvement is extremely rare and its true incidence is still unknown. Tuberculosis of the thyroid is a rare entity even in countries where tuberculosis is prevalent as an endemic problem. Tuberculosis of thyroid gland can present as cold abscess, multinodular goitre, acute abscess or generalized goitre. Clinically, these patients can be euthyroid, hypothyroid or hyperthyroid. Here we report an unusual presentation of recurrent neck swelling in an 8 year old girl turning out to be tuberculosis of thyroid gland.

A 73-year-old male presented with rapidly enlarging midline neck swelling of two months duration. Respiratory discomfort during breathing and hoarseness of voice occurred since few days. Clinical diagnosis was multinodular goitre. Sonography showed diffusely enlarged thyroid gland with altered echotexture. Multiple nodular echogenic lesions were noted in both the lobes. Unenhanced Computed tomography of the thorax and neck revealed a mass with no distinct margins and predominantly fat attenuation in both lobes of the thyroid gland. Magnetic Resonance images of the neck confirmed the fatty nature of the mass. These imaging findings signalled towards diffuse presence of mature adipose tissue inside thyroid gland which defi nes thyrolipomatosis. A near total thyroidectomy was performed and histopathological studies confirmed thyrolipomatosis in the post-operative specimen.Journal of Kathmandu Medical CollegeVol. 5, No. 2, Issue 16, Apr.-Jun., 2016

Dual Ectopic Thyroid

Ectopic thyroid is a rare entity that can appear at any age with different presentations. In this study we are reporting four cases of ectopic thyroid gland at different ages; two cases at childhood, one at adolescent and one at adult life. Among the two children, one having ectopic thyroid at the level of hyoid bone, presented with anterior neck swelling with no other symptom and another one having a lingual ectopic thyroid presented with features of hypothyroidism and obstructive features. The cases of adolescent and adult age are very rare cases of dual ectopic thyroid and ectopic thyroid tissue coexisting with normal thyroid gland respectively. Both of them presented with anterior neck swelling, with additional complaints of dysphagia and foreign body sensation by the adolescent patient. All the cases, ectopic thyroids were detected by Ultrasonogram and confirmed by radionuclide (99mTc) thyroid scan. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjnm.v17i1.22503 Bangladesh J.

Ectopic gall bladder is a rare entity. It can often be misdiagnosed causing diagnostic dilemma leading to various complications. Ultrasonography is the most common investigation for evaluating gall bladder pathologies. However, the confirmation of ectopic gallbladder is not easily possible by this method. On the other hand, hepatobiliary scan (HIDA scan) plays an important role in evaluating the presence and position of ectopic gallbladder. Here we present a case of sonographically suspected ectopic gallbladder confirmed by hepatobiliary scan highlighting the importance of HIDA scan in ectopic gallbladder.Bangladesh J.

Thyroid Lesions

Hydatid cyst may be found in almost any part of the body, but most often in the liver and the lungs. Other organs affected occasionally include the brain, muscle, kidney, heart, pancreas, adrenal, and thyroid gland. Hydatidosis located in the thyroid is an infrequent finding, even in endemic regions. This report documents a rare case with a cystic nodule in the thyroid detected by ultrasonography. The patient was a 30-year-old woman with an euthyroid multinodular goitre. Ultrasonography revealed a cystic nodule, and the ultrasonic appearance of the cyst liquid showed multiple echoes, suggesting that the nodule could be a hydatid cyst. The histopathologic examinations confirmed this to be a primary hydatid cyst of thyroid. During the differential diagnosis of the cystic thyroid lesions, hydatid disease of the thyroid gland should be considered in endemic areas. Chemotherapy is necessary to avoid recurrence.

We describe an interesting case of a 77-year-old man presenting with refractory chylous ascites of unknown aetiology. After extensive diagnostic workup, unifying diagnosis of an intriguing condition of yellow nail syndrome was reached. This case is unusual as it describes a rare cause of chylous ascites in this age group. Despite refractory ascites and the need for recurrent paracentesis, this patient has a good prognosis with no significant impact on overall mortality.

Goitres can be classified according to thyroid function into toxic goitres, hypothyroid goitres, and euthyroid or nontoxic goitres (see Chapter 3.5.1). The most prevalent causes of nontoxic goitre are endemic (iodine-deficient) goitre and sporadic nontoxic goitre (diffuse or nodular). The disease entity of sporadic nontoxic goitre is defined as a benign enlargement of the thyroid gland of unknown cause, in euthyroid patients (normal serum free thyroxine (T4) and free triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations) living in an area without endemic goitre. The diagnosis is by exclusion. The prevalence of sporadic nontoxic goitre (also called simple goitre) in the adult population is high, 3.2% in the UK (see Chapter 3.1.7), and it is more common in women (5.3%) than in men (0.8%). This chapter deals predominantly with sporadic nontoxic multinodular goitre.

ABSTRACTUpper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is a widely used diagnostic and therapeutic procedure. Gastric perforation causing pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, pneumoperitoneum, pneumorrhachis, and subcutaneous emphysema after upper GI endoscopy is an extremely rare complication. We present an interesting case of a 58‑year‑old male who presented to the Emergency Department with recurrent vomiting, abdominal pain and diffuse swelling over abdomen, chest, neck bilateral arms, and thighs after undergoing an endoscopy for a gastric mass.
