Chair and Clinic Of Endocrinology UJCM A case of thyroid cancer followed by metachronous cancers and a pituitary tumour Based on cancer registries, the risk of second primary malignancies in patients with DTC increases by 30%. In our case report we aimed at understanding the patomechanism of metachronous primary tumours in patients with thyroid cancer. In a 71-year old female surgery of nodular goitre (1988), followed by papillary thyroid cancer (pT3NxMx) surgery (2008) and complementary 131-I treatment (2009), were performed. In diagnostic WBS (May 2010) no pathologic 131-I uptake, 0,3 ml thyroid volume (USG), and no enlargement of lymph nodes were stated. Tg concentration after rhTSH stimulation was 10,7 ng/ml. Consecutive 131-I therapy followed (August 2010). Due to increase in thyroglobulin concentration, WBS was performed (2014), with no pathologic 131-I uptake rhTSH-stimulated TSH (351,9 uU/ml) and Tg (13,8 ng/ml).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
