Bile Duct Carcinoma in Association with a Choledochal Cyst : Report of a Case

A case of bile duct carcinoma associated with a pre-existing type I-A choledochal cyst is reported here. A 38-year-old man who had received a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy for a cyst of the common bile duct 11 years earlier was revealed to have metastatic carcinoma in the lungs. The primary site of the carcinoma was clinically undetermined, but was found by autopsy to be in the bile duct. Although the relation between these two lesions was unclear, circumstantial evidence suggested that they were related to each other. A persistent chronic inflammatory irritation in this area was considered to be responsible for development of the tumor

Papillary Carcinoma Arising from a Thyroglossal Cyst : A Case Repor

A number of congenital lesions as well as malignant may arise in the neck. Thyroglossal cysts and sinuses are the most common anomalies encountered. They are derived from vestigues of the thyroglossal duct connecting the primitive median thyroid to its point of origin on the ventral wall of the pharynx. The presence of ectopic tissue in the thyroglossal cyst is occasionally observed. However, papillary carcinoma arising from a thyroid remnant is uncommon. In this paper, a case of papillary carcinoma developing from a thyroglossal cyst in a housewife of 47 was presented and its etiology was discussed
