Article Abstract
In a retrospective analysis of childhood thyroid nodules, 18% were radiographic incidentalomas and 41% were discovered by a clinician's palpation; 40% were discovered by patients' families. The latter group had the largest nodules and highest rates of thyroid cancer metastasis, suggesting opportunities for earlier detection through annual well-child visits.

Trends In Reported Outcomes For Growth Hormone Therapy In Children With Growth Hormone Deficiency.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
September 2025
Developmental Endocrinology Research Group, University of Glasgow, Royal Hospital for Children, Glasgow, UK.
Objective: To understand the frequency and trends in reported outcomes of safety and effectiveness for recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) therapy for growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in childhood.
Methods: A systematic review was performed in seven English and Chinese language databases. Eligibility criteria included all studies published between 2003 and 2022, with participants who started rhGH before the age of 16 years for GHD.
A comprehensive analysis of clinical factors interacting with ectopic intrathyroidal thymus in children and adolescents: The Fukushima Health Management Survey.

The ectopic intrathyroidal thymus (EIT) is located anywhere in the thyroid gland along the developmental pathway of thymic descent due to thymic migration during embryogenesis. Ultrasonographic findings of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) resemble those of EIT, which is frequently found in children. We comprehensively evaluated the clinical factors associated with EIT to understand its physiological implications and to explore helpful information for clinical discrimination between EIT and PTC.

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Cixi People Hospital Medical Health Group (Cixi People Hospital), Ningbo, China.
Background: Primary hypothyroidism is characterized by a loss of thyroxine feedback inhibition and an increase in thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) levels, resulting in reactive pituitary hyperplasia. However, it is important to note that pituitary hyperplasia due to primary hypothyroidism (PHPH) is rare, particularly when symptoms of pituitary mass compression are present.
Case Summary: A patient with menstrual irregularities and hyperprolactinemia exhibited pituitary enlargement on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
A comparative analysis of clinical phenotypes and outcomes in childhood interstitial lung disease due to surfactant dysfunction disorders: focusing on mutations in SFTPC, ABCA3, and NKX2-1 genes.

Background: Surfactant dysfunction disorders are a group of rare diseases that lead to childhood interstitial lung diseases (ILD). SFTPC, ABCA3, and NKX2-1 are the three genetic forms of this condition. The differences in clinical presentations and prognostic outcomes across these genotypes are not well understood, warranting comparative analysis.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) incidence increased after childhood exposure to radioactive fallout from the Chornobyl accident. We investigated PTC genomic profiles to distinguish radiation-induced versus sporadic oncogenic drivers by modeling dose and molecular characteristics by driver category: ( = 132), RAS mutation ( = 31), fusions generated from two breakpoints and <20 base pairs (bp) breakpoint gain/loss (Fusion; = 63), or ≥3 breakpoints and ≥1000 bp breakpoint loss ( = 20). The frequency of Fusion-PTC increased with increasing thyroid radiation dose, whereas all others declined.
