Surgical resection for FN nodules is decided upon by considering several parameters, and the decision is made without performing gene analysis. Non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features tends to be more often diagnosed as papillary carcinoma. The risk of malignancy of SFM in Japan is higher than that in Western countries, and resection rates of SFM and malignant tumors are lower owing to active surveillance for low-risk papillary microcarcinoma. We recommend that each country should develop its reporting system, suitable for its medical and social needs. However, it should be easily compatible with TBSRTC for the ease of academic data sharing.This brief review discusses legal issues in thyroid cytology and histopathology in England. The principal risks in thyroid cyto/histopathology are either underdiagnosis of a malignant condition as benign, overdiagnosis of a benign condition as malignant, or the failure to recognise or the overdiagnosis as malignant of a benign or inflammatory condition. There are multiple diagnostic pitfalls in both cytology and histopathology and these are reasonably well documented. The interobserver reproducibility as assessed by kappa statistics of some of the major criteria for malignancy, specifically papillary-type nuclei in the diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma, capsular invasion or vascular invasion are comparatively poor hence diagnoses of well differentiated papillary or follicular carcinoma may often be to some extent subjective. This article reviews the current legal situation in England discussing recent legal case precedents with a suggestion for improving communication and the preoperative consent process for patients.Universally accepted guidelines for diagnosis and management of any disease are desirable. Standardization of thyroid cytology reporting is aimed at guiding and improving clinical decision-making and management. However, socio-economic, and local factors and differences in disease prevalence and patterns require modification to suit local settings. 'One size fit all' approach is not possible for any disease diagnosis or management. The same concept is applicable in diagnosis and management of thyroid nodules. An additional special issue is the well-known high inter and intra-observer variability in the histological and cytological diagnosis of thyroid neoplasms. Despite this, thyroid cytology has a very significant influence in the management of thyroid diseases. An approach based on common principals with appropriate modifications that suits countries or continents is desirable and sustainable. The principals of TBSRTC have served as a framework for similar tiered classifications for reporting thyroid cytopathology. This article discusses globally available professional guidelines based on a common framework with appropriate modifications, with the universal aim of risk stratification of thyroid nodules.The incidence of thyroid cancer is rising for a variety of reasons. At the same time, the nomenclature revision of non-invasive encapsulated follicular-variant PTC to noninvasive follicular neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) has modified the incidence of thyroid cancer. Given that thyroid neoplasia is a molecular event, it is important for the thyroid physician to evaluate each patient systematically. Most thyroid cancers are sporadic; however, some are familial and may be associated with syndromes with genetic implications. Advances in radiologic imaging have made ultrasonography a near equivalent of gross examination. The American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging, Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS) classifies nodules from TR1 to TR5 and is valuable in determining which patients should be guided toward fine-needle aspiration (FNA) sampling. While FNA procedures and processing may be varied, the key elements are cytologic diagnosis and collection of samples for potential molecular ts with regard to the probability of cancer. For either test, the molecular test result should be integrated with other clinical parameters to determine if surgery is indicated and, if so, the extent of surgery.Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) has recently become a hot research topic due to the advantage of leaving no scar, but, according to most centers, its indication is restricted to the size of thyroid gland. Here we report a case of a female patient with Class III goitre who successfully underwent TOETVA (video attached). AZD2171 mouse A 53-year-old woman with a previous history of chest keloidosis presented with a history of neck swelling for 3 years and was diagnosed as Hashimoto's thyroiditis with no nodules. The patient insisted that she undergo a TOETVA procedure in our hospital. Compared to the traditional TOETVA, several techniques were applied in this operation to ensure the resection and removal of the thyroid gland with the dissection of the mental nerve and using the lateral approach to the thyroid gland. The total volume of thyroid gland was 205 mL. The operating time was 195 min. No complications were incurred. The numbness of the lip and chin was measured by the "two-points discrimination" method with several aspects (touch, pain, temperature) at different times to evaluate mental nerve injury. She felt the numbness during the first operative day but it was almost completely relieved in the third postoperative month. To our knowledge, this is the largest thyroid gland reported removed with TOETVA procedure. By carefully designing the operative steps, it is feasible to use the transoral approach in patients who have a benign thyroid disease with a Class III goitre if the patient strongly desires that operation.Adult pancreatic hemangioma is an especially rare benign tumor that is hard to diagnose through imaging examinations, meanwhile its histopathological and immunohistochemical studies have rarely been reported. At this time, only 29 cases in 27 publications have been reported. We report a new case as well as review these literatures. A 71-year-old woman came to our hospital with slight pain on left upper abdomen for three days. But the results obtained from the physical or laboratory examination were all negative so that her symptoms could not be explained clearly. The imaging examinations including ultrasonography and computed tomography both showed a mixed mass in the neck of the pancreas. The preoperative diagnosis of cystadenoma or adenocarcinoma was made, with high suspicious of malignancy. The patient underwent a central pancreatectomy with pancreatojejunostomy, but the pathologic diagnosis was pancreatic hemangioma. The immunohistochemical examination found the positive benign vascular markers (CD31, CD34) and negative lymphocyte markers (D2-40).
