@entity1 @entity1377 @entity2621 @entity5 @entity10972 @entity53872 @entity1358 @entity259 @entity1374
BACKGROUND: Several studies have reported an association between @entity2621 and @entity259 although the cause/effect relationship is still controversial. CASE REPORT: In this paper we report the case of a 38-year-old female who first presented with a clinical history of @entity2621 . Ultrasound examination showed a diffuse thyroid irregularity more pronounced in the right lobe. FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) was performed in this area, and the cytological diagnosis was " @entity2621 ". The @entity1 underwent clinical follow-up. Two years later, an ultrasound examination showed a nodular lump in the area previously aspirated. A new FNAC evidenced a @entity53872 . Therefore, the @entity1 underwent surgery. The histological diagnosis was " @entity1358 ". CONCLUSION: In the present case, the clinical and ultrasound history suggest the development of a malignant lesion strictly related to @entity1374 , as previously reported by other studies on @entity1377 . A cause-effect relationship between @entity2621 and @entity5 is still a matter of controversy. Therefore, @entity1 suffering from @entity10972 require a careful follow-up and, in case of nodules development, FNAC is recommended.
