BACKGROUND: Granulomatous disease in the thyroid gland has been linked to viral, bacterial and autoimmune etiologies. The most common granulomatous disease of the thyroid is subacute granulomatous thyroiditis, which is presumed to have a viral or post-viral inflammatory cause. Bacterial etiologies include tuberculosis, actinomycosis, and nocardiosis, but are extremely rare. Disseminated actinomycosis and nocardiosis more commonly affect organ-transplant patients with the highest susceptibility within the first year after transplant surgery...

Bronchogenic cyst, a benign congenital cystic lesion of the lung, is a rare cause of respiratory distress in children comprising 7.5% of all mediastinal masses. A thorough preoperative evaluation is crucial to plan for definitive intra- and post-operative management. All patients should be thoroughly evaluated for the presence of compression, deviation or distortion of airways and great veins. The easiest means of providing one lung ventilation in pediatrics is to intubate the main stem bronchus of the nonoperated lung...

BACKGROUND: The development of image technology has led to increasing detection of pulmonary small nodules year by year, but the determination of their nature before operation is difficult. This clinical study aimed to investigate the necessity and feasibility of surgical resection of pulmonary small nodules through a minimally invasive approach and the operational manner of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: The clinical data of 129 cases with pulmonary small nodule of 10 mm or less in diameter were retrospectively analyzed in our hospital from December 2013 to November 2016...

BACKGROUND Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are tumor cells that are shed from primary tumors and circulate in the peripheral blood. CTCs, as a surrogate of micro-metastasis, can be a useful clinical marker, but their clinical significance remains unclear in lung cancer. We now report a case of lung cancer in which the count of CTCs was useful in monitoring postoperative recurrence. CASE REPORT A 50-year-old man had undergone right upper lobectomy for lung cancer (pT1bN2M0, stage IIIA adenocarcinoma), followed by cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy...

BACKGROUND: The incidence of thyroid carcinoma ranges from 0.5 to 10 cases every 100,000, depending on the country, the context and purpose of the study. The high incidence of differentiated thyroid tumor is continuously growing. While most malignant pathologies affect the adults, a proportion of 1-2% of pediatric population is affected by solitary nodule, of which some are malignant cancers. Studying thyroid malignant cancer, the most sensitive and accurate imaging technique is color Doppler ultrasonography...

BACKGROUND: Postoperative pleural drainage markedly influences the length of postoperative stay and financial costs of medical care. The aim of this study is to retrospectively investigate potentially predisposing factors related to pleural drainage after curative thoracic surgery and to explore the impact of mediastinal micro-vessels clipping on pleural drainage control after lymph node dissection. METHODS: From February 2012 to November 2013, 322 consecutive cases of operable non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) undergoing lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection with or without application of clipping were collected...

During a thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan, a 36-year-old male was diagnosed with a solitary oval pulmonary mixed ground-glass nodule in the right upper lobe of the lung. The edge of the nodule was well-defined, and its largest axial size was approximately 1.1 × 0.9 cm(2). This nodule was slightly lobulated, but not obviously speculated. Solid components, micro-cystic lucency shadow, small high-density rings and tiny vascular branches were all visible in the nodule. During hospitalization, a technetium 99 m methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99 m MDP) bone scan was performed, which showed a skeletal foci with abnormal uptake in the left iliac...

OBJECTIVE: The relationship between primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) and papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) still remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the incidence of the co-existence of pHPT and PTC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 2010 and 2013, all patients with pHPT were retrospectively reviewed and those undergoing concomitant thyroid surgery were recorded. Of these, patients with a pathological result showing papillary or micro-papillary thyroid cancer were included into the study...

BACKGROUND: Total thyroidectomy is a well-established surgical approach for the management of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). However, the best surgical approach for papillary microcarcinoma is nowadays still debated. Both total thyroidectomy and simple lobectomy are used. We report the experience of a single University center in the treatment of thyroid microcarcinoma. METHODS: A retrospective analysis on all patients who underwent thyroid surgery at our institution over a 24-year period (1991-2015) was performed...

AIMS: Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a rare developmental anomaly of the lung. Here, we report a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma arising in CPAM. A 23-month-old boy underwent a thoracoscopic lobectomy of the left upper lobe of the lung based on a presumptive diagnosis of asymptomatic CPAM, found in antenatal sonogram. METHODS AND RESULTS: Histologically, the lesion was consistent with CPAM, Stocker type I. In addition, multiple foci ranging from mucinous epithelial hyperplasia to mucinous adenocarcinoma were detected...

BACKGROUND: BRAF mutation is probably the only molecular marker acting as a risk factor that is available before surgery: for this reason, soon after it became quite widespread, it seemed an important tool as a guide towards an individualized surgical therapy in papillary thyroid carcinoma. PURPOSE: Capsule invasion, multifocality, and lymph node involvement are the most important parameters influencing the choice of surgical strategy in front of small papillary cancers and, in more detail, of micro papillary carcinomas...

SESSION TYPE: Thoracic Surgery IPRESENTED ON: Monday, October 22, 2012 at 11:15 AM - 12:30 PMPURPOSE: We report our experiences with a previously described, but underutilized, technique for minimally invasive localization and surgical excision biopsy of small lung nodules-micro-coil guided video-assisted thoracoscopic (MC-VATS) lung resection. Accurate diagnosis of small intrapulmonary lung nodules (0.5-2.0 cm) is a challenge. It can be difficult to reliably biopsy these under CT guidance. Even minimally invasive surgical techniques are difficult, as these nodules often cannot be localized unless the surgeon converts to open thoracotomy to palpate the lung...

OBJECTIVE: Intraoperative diagnosis of lymph node (LN) metastasis is critical in lung cancer patients. The one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) assay is a novel technique using a loop-mediated isothermal amplification method of gene amplification. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the OSNA assay provides sufficient diagnosis of LN metastasis in lung cancer patients. METHODS: A total of 40 LN stations were dissected from the 20 patients, who had curative lobectomy for lung cancer...

REVIEW
Pierre Bonnette
It has been proved that lobectomy for lung cancer of less than 3 cm is superior to sublobar resection (segmentectomy and wedge resection) in the Lung Cancer Study Group trial published in 1995. Lobectomy is therefore recommended, with lymph node resection. Nevertheless, some publications have shown identical or close results after segmentectomy for tumors of less than 2 cm, and after wedge resection for tumors of less than 1 cm. It is likely that local recurrences are avoided by respecting a macroscopic margin of more than 2 cm around the tumor...

BACKGROUND: Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is the most commonly used diagnostic tool to differentiate benign from malignant thyroid nodules. Nevertheless, some FNAB cytology results are not definite. In such cases diagnostic thyroid lobectomy is performed with malignancy rate on final histopathology ranging at 15%-75%. The aim of this study was to improve on the accuracy of FNAB-based cytology by amplification of microRNAs (micro ribonucleic acids [miRs]) from the residual cells left in the FNAB needle after submission for cytology...

We report here a case of a paediatric hyperthyroidism due to a micro-macro-follicular thyroid adenoma in the presence of heterozygous point mutation of TSH receptor (TSHr). We describe the case from the initial diagnosis, through laboratoristic examinations and imaging techniques, until the radical surgical treatment made by a mini-cervicotomic videoassisted technique. We also explained the genetic work-up from peripheral blood and thyroid adenoma tissue.
