Malignancies arising from TGDC are quite uncommon, the prevalence of which has been reported to be 1%. TGDC carcinomas, which are usually diagnosed post-operatively, generally arise from the thyroid cells. The majority of TGDC carcinomas are papillary carcinomas. There are two opinions on the origin of TGDC carcinomas; one favors the thyroid itself while the other considers the TGDC as the origin of TGDC carcinomas. The treatment of TGDC carcinomas is controversial and the extent of the planned surgery depends on the risk group of the patient. A 44-year-old female presented to our clinic for evaluation of a painless, moderately solid mobile mass 5x6 cm in size located in the submental region in the mid-line of the neck. The mass was excised, and upon the diagnosis of papillary carcinoma in the thyroid tissue adjacent to a TGDC, she underwent a total thyroidectomy and selective neck dissection. T...

Assessment of our 7-year experience with MIVAT. A retrospective study of 240 consecutive patients who underwent MIVAT at our institution between 01/2004 and 05/2011 was conducted. The inclusion criterion was a single thyroid nodule below 30 mm in diameter within the thyroid of 25 ml or less in volume. The exclusion criteria were previous thyroid or parathyroid surgery, T2 or higher thyroid cancer, N1 stage, and thyroiditis. The Miccoli technique was used. The analysis included indications, eligibility rate, operative time, morbidity and cosmetic effects. Of 6,574 patients referred for thyroid surgery, 240 (3.6%) were eligible for MIVAT. In the final pathology report, there were 206 follicular adenomas, 21 papillary thyroid cancers, 9 cases of Graves' disease and 4 follicular cancers. Reasons for exclusion were as follows: thyroid volume...
