Thyroid papillary carcinoma presenting with femoral neck metastasis: a case report

Thyroid carcinoma is relatively uncommon, accounting for 2% of all cancers. Although they usually present as a neck lump, occasionally they may be presented with a distant metastasis. In this study, a 65 year-old woman was referred to our clinic with a pain on her left hip at both rest and walking. A lytic area at the inferior femoral neck was found with plain radiography. To clarify the characteristics of the lesion, left hip magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had been performed displaying 3×5 cm hyperintense lesion extending from medial part of the left femoral neck to the left femoral head. Laboratory findings were normal. An open biopsy had then been performed from the left femoral neck with a suspicion of a metastatic tumor. After Immunohistochemical assesment diagnosis was consistent with metastatic thyroid papillary cancer. Proximal femoral resection with clear margins were achieved by proximal femur tumor endoprosthesis.  In conclusion, papillary thyroid cancer have an excellent prognosis and doesn’t tend to metastese. But rarely, as seen in our case it can even present with syptoms of metastasic disease. Management strategy is the same as other solitary bone metastasis. Papillary thyroid cancer must be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis in solitary bone metatasis

A New Agonistic Inscription from Attouda

This paper introduces an unpublished Greek agonistic inscription recorded during the epigraphic survey research carried out in 2021 within the scope of Attouda and its surrounding. The inscription was discovered embedded in one of the interior walls of a residential building in the Kuru District of the present-day Hisar Village in Saraykoy. The statue base bearing the inscription in question has been recorded on the interior wall of this nearly destroyed square-planned structure. The inscription is the first theatrical inscription found in the city so far. Metrodoros, the son of Metrodoros who is also the biological son of Claudius Thallus, is honored by the homeland in the inscription. Metrodoros was both a herald (kappa eta rho upsilon xi) and a comic actor (kappa omega mu omega delta omicron zeta). This is the first inscription documenting the names of Metrodoros and his father Claudius Thallus in the city which is also important with respect to recording these names and contributing the prosopography of Attouda. Unlike the published agonistic inscriptions recorded in the city so far, the person honored in this inscription is introduced with the names of two fathers. Another striking point is that the name of the agon in the fifteenth line seems intentionally deleted, an intervention that has also been observed in two published agonistic inscriptions found in the city. Based on the praenomen Claudius and letter forms, the inscription is dated to the 1st century AD and later

Retrospective study of 23 pathologically proven cases of central nervous system tuberculomas

Introduction: Extrapulmonary manifestations of tuberculosis involving the central nervous system (CNS) due to haematogenous spread are not a rare entity. It presents as meningitis or tuberculoma. Tuberculoma is a granulomatous inflammatory process mimicking a neoplasm radiologically, so usually a biopsy is performed

The correlation between 1p/19q codeletion, idh1 mutation, p53 overexpression and their prognostic roles in 41 turkish anaplastic oligodendroglioma patients

AIM: To observe the correlation between 1p/19q codeletion, isocytrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) mutation and p53 protein overexpression and their prognostic value in Turkish anaplastic oligodendroglioma patients who were treated with adjuvant radiotherapy and temozolomide chemotherapy

Vascularity and histology of fetal labrum and chondrolabral junction: its relevance to chondrolabral detachment tears

In an effort to understand the chondrolabral junction tears, we can conclude that collagen content and fiber orientation may represent the histological basis for the predominance of tears at the anterosuperior region
