Article Abstract
Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common thyroid malignancy, with a higher incidence in women. Vitamin D deficiency has been proposed as a potential risk factor for various cancers, including thyroid cancer. This study investigates the association between vitamin D deficiency and papillary thyroid carcinoma. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 209 patients diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma from January 2016 to December 2020. Clinical data, including vitamin D levels, were collected and analyzed using SPSS software. ANOVA was employed to determine the significance of the relationship between vitamin D status, lymph node positivity, and thyroid nodule size. Vitamin D deficiency was prevalent in 58.4% of patients, with 25.4% being insufficient and 16.3% normal. No significant relationship was found between vitamin D levels and the number of positive lymph nodes ( = 0.457) or thyroid nodule size ( = 0.775). Vitamin D levels may not be a reliable prognostic indicator for papillary thyroid carcinoma. Further research with larger sample sizes is necessary to explore this association.

Objective: Aim: To find out new objective criteria for laser histological differential diagnosis of thyroid pathology based on the use of a digital method of layer-by-layer polarization-interference mapping of polarization ellipticity maps of microscopic images of native histological sections of thyroid biopsy.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Four groups of patients were studied: control group 1 - healthy donors (51 patients); study group 2 - patients with nodular goiter (51 patients); study group 3 - patients with autoimmune thyroiditis (51 patients); study group 4 - patients with papillary cancer (51 patients). Methods used: polarization-interference, statistical.

Background: Thyroid nodules (TNs) are frequent and often benign. Accurately differentiating between benign and malignant nodules is crucial for proper management. This research aims to use ultrasonography to examine TNs and identify possible risk factors in order to improve patient outcomes and diagnostic accuracy.

In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the incidence of thyroid carcinoma (TC). Our study focuses on the regulatory effect of circular RNAs on metabolism of TC, aiming to provide new insights into the mechanisms of progression and a potential therapeutic target for TC. In this study, we identified high expression levels of circPSD3 in TC tissues through RNA sequencing.

The spindle cell variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is exceptionally rare and poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its morphological overlap with other spindle cell lesions of the thyroid. We report a novel case of spindle cell variant PTC in a 66-year-old woman presenting with a TI-RADS 4 thyroid nodule, initially classified as Bethesda III on fine-needle aspiration. Histopathological examination revealed a biphasic tumor composed predominantly of bland spindle cells arranged in solid sheets and fascicles, admixed with entrapped thyroid follicles.
