Abstract AR
سرطان الغدة الدرقية في غدة زائدة النشاط نادرة الحدوث و لكن يجب توقعها في بعض الحالات حيث أن هناك زيادة في نسبة حدوثها مؤخرا.
إن استئصال معظم الغدة في وجود سرطان صغير يكون كافيا أغلب الأحيان و لكن في حالة زيادة النشاط يجب أن يكون الاستئصال كاملا.
و نحن هنا نقدم حالة لرجل في العقد الخامس من عمره مصابا بزيادة إفراز الغدة الدرقية و بعد استئصالها و تحليلها وجد أنها تحتوي على ورم سرطاني حليمي بالإضافة إلى زيادة في نشاط و حجم الخلايا.
و هذه الحالة تبين أهمية الفحص الإكلينيكي و المخبري و النسيجي لأي مريض يعاني من نشاط الغدة الدرقية لاستبعاد وجود أوارم خبيثة.
Abstract EN
Thyroid carcinoma in hyperfunctioning thyroid is a rare entity and a rare clinical condition, but should be suspected as there is rising trend in these cases.
While subtotal thyroidectomy is an adequate treatment for incidental small focus of malignancy, hyperfunctioning thyroid malignancy requires more aggressive treatment.
This report presents a case of 41-yearold hyperthyroid man who was found to have papillary thyroid cancer with hyperplastic goiter ; consistent with toxic goiter based on postoperative histopathology.
This case shows the importance of proper evaluation of the thyroid to exclude malignancies even in hyperfunctioning thyroid patients.
Thyroid cancer should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hyperthyroid goiter and Graves’ disease despite the rare association between them.
Careful history and physical examination should be carried out.
Although hot nodules in iodine or technetium scan may suggest a benign condition, malignancy should be always ruled out with histopathology examination.
