Article Abstract
Hypothyroidism is a recognized sequela of conventional thyroid lobectomy. However, there have been no studies on the incidence of hypothyroidism following the preservation of the isthmus and pyramid during lobectomy. Therefore, in the present study, we compared the incidence of hypothyroidism following conventional lobectomy and lobectomy during which the isthmus and pyramidal lobe were preserved. Data for a total of 65 patients collected between September 2018 and April 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Circulating thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration was measured before and after surgery in a group who underwent conventional thyroid lobectomy ( = 29) and in a group in which the isthmus and pyramid were preserved ( = 36). We found no significant difference in TSH concentration between the two groups before surgery, or 3 months or 1 year after surgery. Thus, there might be no difference in the incidence of postoperative hypothyroidism between patients who undergo conventional thyroid lobectomy and those in which the isthmus and pyramid are preserved.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most prevalent form of thyroid cancer with a high incidence among endocrine malignancies. It tends to metastasize early in lymph nodes and differs markedly from other subtypes in biological behavior, clinical management, and prognosis. Therefore, accurately distinguishing PTC from other pathological subtypes is crucial for guiding diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Thyroid cancer, a prevalent endocrine malignancy, is influenced by its tumor microenvironment (TME), with cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) playing a pivotal role in disease progression. Molecularly, CAFs orchestrate a pro-tumorigenic niche via cytokine secretion and extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffening, underscoring their targetability. Therapeutic strategies, including small molecule inhibitor-based therapies, immune-based therapies, nanoparticle-based approaches, and combination regimens, have been evaluated for their efficacy in disrupting CAF functionality.

Background: Given the challenge in preoperative diagnosis of high-volume lymph node metastasis (HVLNM) in clinical practice, we constructed and externally validated a comprehensive predictive model that integrated conventional ultrasound characteristics, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) parameters, BRAFmutation, and clinicopathological data for HVLNM in clinically lymph node-negative (cN0) papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).
Methods: Totally, 126 clinically lymph node-negative (cN0) PTC patients who underwent subtotal or total thyroidectomy and accompanied with prophylactic cervical lymph node dissection between December 2022 and December 2024 were enrolled in this retrospective study, and an additional 47 cN0 PTC patients included for the external validation cohort. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to identify the independent risk factors for HVLNM, and a binary logistic regression equation and relevant nomogram was constructed to predict the risk about HVLNM.

Background: Over the past decade, the remarkable rise in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) incidence, combined with the limitations of conventional diagnostic approaches, have prompted this study to explore the diagnostic value of thyroid-related serological indicators and pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) for DTC, based on advancements in molecular biology and immunology.
Methods: Based on postoperative pathological diagnosis, the present retrospective research comprised 112 individuals afflicted with DTC (observation group) and 93 individuals having benign thyroid tumors (control group) from January 2023 to January 2025. Differences in clinical data between the two groups were analyzed via univariate statistical methods.

Empty sella (ES) involves herniation of the pituitary fossa, leading to pituitary flattening. While typically associated with central hypothyroidism, its co-occurrence with hyperthyroidism is rarely reported and often overlooked. We report a rare case of hyperthyroidism in a patient with ES.
