Case presentation: A 40-year-old male was referred to our department for a lateral neck mass assessment. Physical examination revealed a solitary palpable, painless, moveable neck mass. Assessment included complete nasal, pharynx and larynx endoscopy, neck computed tomography, and fine needle aspiration biopsy. Treatment was surgical excision of the neck mass. Histopathology confirmed a branchial cleft cyst with papillary thyroid carcinoma growth at a site. A neck and thyroid ultrasound showed presence of thyroid gland nodules (one of which with micro calcifications). Thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy performed, was high suspicious for malignancy (BETHESDA V). Patient underwent total thyroidectomy and histopathology revealed papillary thyroid carcinoma. Conclusion: Although rarely, it is possible to face an unexpected malignancy within a clinically benign neck lesion. A thorough diagnostic work-up enables early identification of aforementioned potential malignancy. A diagnostic dilemma that arises in such cases is between primary or metastatic disease and a thyroid carcinoma arising from ectopic thyroid tissue.展开更多

Surgical therapy is the mainstay of treatment for symptomatic RCC. The optimal surgical strategy remains debatable.

The cells of the anterior pituitary lobe, from which pituitary adenomas develop, are also derived from the cells of Rathke pouch. Although Rathke cleft cyst and pituitary adenoma have a shared ancestry, they rarely occur coincidentally. Rathke cleft cysts have been found incidentally in 11% - 33% of post-mortem examinations, and were associated with 1.7% - 2.1% of the pituitary adenoma cases. These coexisting lesions are difficult to diagnose pre-operatively due to the variable signal intensity and position of the Rathke cleft cysts. Treatment of these lesions involves surgical resection to decrease mass effect and medical management to normalize hormonal imbalances. To our best knowledge, only 42 cases of Rathke cleft cyst with a coexisting pituitary adenoma have been reported in the English or Japanese literatures, but none of the coexisting pituitary adenoma is gonadotropin producing. We would like to report a case of Rathke cleft cyst with a coexisting gonadotropin producing adenoma that was successfully treated by endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach with the removal of the sellar lesion and temporary hormone replacement.展开更多

They represent approximately 2% of all laterocervical tumors and 6% to 85% of anomalies of the second branchial cleft. This anomaly of the second branchial cleft is a frequent reason for consultation in the pediatric population but is relatively rare in adults. We report the cases of two patients aged 23 and 34 years with no particular pathological history. They were presenting a laterocervical swelling, one right and the other left, painless, evolving for two years for the first and for 10 years for the second, gradually increasing in volume without any other associated signs the diagnosis of which after radiological exploration (ultrasound and CT scan) was that of an amygdaloid cyst. A cervicotomy with anatomopathological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis of the amygdaloid cyst. The objective is to analyze the anatomo-clinical and therapeutic particularities of this pathology and to compare it with data from the literature.展开更多
