J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 101(9):3251-5. M. S. Elston, S. Sehgal, S. Du Toit, T. Yarndley and J. V. Conaglen. 2016. CONTEXT: Biotin (vitamin B7) is an essential co-factor for four carboxylases involved in fatty acid metabolism, leucine degradation, and gluconeogenesis. The recommended daily intake (RDI) of biotin is approximately 30 mug per day. Low-moderate dose biotin is a common component of multivitamin preparations, and high-dose biotin (10 000 times RDI) has been reported to improve clinical outcomes and quality of life in patients with progressive multiple sclerosis. Biotin is also a component of immunoassays, and supplementation may cause interference in both thyroid and non-thyroid immunoassays. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether biotin ingestion caused abnormal thyroid function tests (TFTs) in a patient through assay interference. DESIGN: We report a patient with biotin-associated abnormal TFTs and a systematic review of the literature. SETTING: A tertiary endocrine service in Hamilton, New Zealand. RESULTS: The patient had markedly abnormal TFTs that did not match the clinical context. After biotin cessation, TFTs normalized far more rapidly than possible given the half- life of T4, consistent with assay interference by biotin. Multiple other analytes also tested abnormal in the presence of biotin. CONCLUSION: Biotin ingested in moderate to high doses can cause immunoassay interference. Depending on the assay format, biotin interference can result in either falsely high or low values. Interference is not limited to thyroid tests and has the potential to affect a wide range of analytes. It is important for clinicians to be aware of this interaction to prevent misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring (IONM) in preventing recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (RLNP) during thyroid surgery. When IONM results in false positives, it seeks to evaluate contributing factors. A systematic review was conducted gauging the predictive power of neuromonitoring in determining RLN function intraoperatively, its reductions of temporary and permanent RLNP rates, and surgeons' response to the technology. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PubMed were searched for RLN monitoring in thyroid surgery following a set of inclusion/exclusion criteria. Seventeen studies comparing thyroid surgery with and without IONM were reviewed, including 30,926 patients. Selected studies were pooled to gage the predictive power. Mean specificity of IONM in identifying functional nerves was 90.24 % among 7366 nerves at risk (NAR). However, mean positive predictive power (PPP) was low, and both specificity and PPP varied substantially when stratified by risk levels. Among the pooled studies focusing on IONM efficacy-there were 44,575 NAR, of which (57.98 %) were operated on with IONM and 18,732 (42.02 %) without (control). The rates of overall RLNP per NAR were 3.18 and 3.83 % for the IONM group and control, respectively. There is no statistically significant difference between IONM and control, a conclusion supported by qualitative analysis from many individual studies. IONM is not recommended as the standard of care for thyroidectomies. Low PPP of IONM and complications associated with IONM-assisted thyroidectomies may be attributed to either the absence of a standardized negative-signal cutoff value or injury from intubation.

Clin Endocrinol (Oxf), 85(1):122-31. N. Singh Ospina, S. Maraka, A. Espinosa DeYcaza, D. O'Keeffe, J. P. Brito, M. R. Gionfriddo, M. R. Castro, J. C. Morris, P. Erwin and V. M. Montori. 2016. BACKGROUND: Thyroid ultrasound to assess for nodular growth is commonly performed during the follow-up of patients with benign thyroid nodules, with the goal of identifying patients with a missed diagnosis of thyroid cancer. The objective of this study was to summarize the evidence regarding the diagnostic accuracy of growth during follow-up of benign thyroid nodules for thyroid cancer. METHODS: We searched multiple electronic databases using a search strategy designed by an experienced medical librarian from inception to March 2015. ESES Review of Recently Published Literature 2016-2 Page 4 of 76 Eligible studies included patients with benign thyroid nodules assessed for growth during follow-up and evaluated for thyroid cancer either by surgical histology or a repeat fine needle aspiration biopsy. Reviewers working independently and in duplicate recorded data and assessed each study. RESULTS: The seven eligible studies lacked safeguards against bias and generated results that were imprecise with wide confidence intervals and inconsistent across studies. This warrants very low confidence in these results. The odds of nodule growth in patients with thyroid cancer on histopathology over these odds in patients without thyroid cancer (diagnostic odds ratio) was 0.58 (95% CI: 0.26-1.3); the diagnostic odds ratio was 2.2 (95% CI: 0.26-18) when an abnormal repeat biopsy was the reference standard. CONCLUSION: The body of evidence linking nodule growth with thyroid cancer during the follow-up of benign nodules warrants very low confidence. In the era of high-value health care, the commonplace practice of following benign thyroid nodules with serial ultrasound assessment of growth to diagnose cancer can be questioned, calling for imminent evaluation.

P. Balasubramanian. 2016. BACKGROUND: A large proportion of global increase in thyroid cancer (TC) incidence has been attributed to increased detection of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Nonetheless, some reports support a real increase in incidence.

Abstract Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN) disorders are very rare. These are hereditary diseases which develop into a number of endocrine glands and result in tumor formation. The MENs are run in families because they are the exact consequence of genetic mutations and their symptoms are completely dissimilar dependent on the involving glands. Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) is characterized by the occurrence of tumors involving two or more endocrine glands in a single patient. Four major forms of MEN, which are autosomal dominant disorders, are recognized and referred to as: MEN type 1 (MEN1), due to menin mutations; MEN2 (previously MEN2A) due to mutations of a tyrosine kinase receptor encoded by the rearranged during transfection (RET) protoncogene; MEN3 (previously MEN2B) due to RET mutations; and MEN4 due to cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CDNK1B) mutations.

Water-clear cell adenoma (WCCA) of the parathyroid gland is an exceedingly rare neoplasm. To date, 17 cases have been reported in the literature, with only one of them being intrathyroidal. Here we report a case of a 34-year-old woman who presented for evaluation of a goiter and was found to have a thyroid nodule and abnormal thyroid function tests (TFT). Fine needle aspiration biopsy of the nodule revealed thyroid follicular cells without atypia and subsequent Afirma5 Gene Expression Classifier (GEC) testing results were suspicious for malignancy. As a result, the patient underwent a right thyroid lobectomy and isthmusectomy.

Cytodiagnosis of those neoplasms by fine needle aspiration is challenging and compounded with diagnostic pitfalls. However, with a representative cell sample and careful evaluation of different cellular and non-cellular components, a correct diagnosis may be safely made in the majority of cases. This monograph is written for practicing pathologists in community hospitals, pathology residents and cytotechnologists who are interested in acquiring a basic knowledge in diagnostic cytology of head and neck tumors. It consists of four chapters describing the cytologic manifestations of important tumors of the thyroid, parathyroid, salivary glands, lymph nodes, soft tissues and brain. The text is concise and illustrations are abundant. For most tumors, cytologic and histologic images are presented side by side for cytohistologic correlation.

A 99mtechnetium (99mTc) sestamibi scan or neck ultrasonography is used to localize the neoplasm prior to surgical intervention. A 53-year-old female was referred for the exclusion of metabolic bone disease. She presented with low back pain that had persisted for the past 6 months and elevated serum alkaline phosphatase (1,253 IU/L). Four years previously, she had been diagnosed at a local hospital with a 2.3-cm thyroid nodule, which was determined to be pathologically benign. Radiofrequency ablation was performed at the same hospital because the nodule was still growing during the follow-up period 2 years before the visit to our hospital, and the proce- dure was unsuccessful in reducing the size of the nodule. The results of the laboratory tests in our hospital were as follows: serum calcium, 14.6 mg/dL; phosphorus, 3.5 mg/dL; and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), 1,911 pg/mL.

(Pathology) Panjab University, Department of Histopathology, A.B. Diagnostics, A-1, Ring Road, Rajouri Garden, New Delhi, 110027, India Abstract Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a syndrome emerging from characteristic mutations of MEN1 gene with concurrently enunciated multiple endocrine and tumours and associated non-endocrine neoplasm. Previously designated as Werner’s syndrome, MEN1 syndrome denominates genomic mutation within chromosome 11q13 or a tumour suppressor gene with a distinctive protein product nomenclated as “menin”. MEN1 syndrome demonstrates an autosomal dominant pattern of disease inheritance where genomic mutations delineate a comprehensive (100%) disease penetrance. MEN1 gene was initially identified in 1997 upon chromosome 11q13. Although twelve genetic mutations were primarily identified, currently beyond eighteen hundred genomic mutations are scripted [1,2]. MEN1 syndrome is comprised of diverse combination of twenty or more endocrine and non-endocrine tumours exemplifying a classic triad of pituitary, parathyroid and pancreatic neoplasm. Diverse non endocrine tumours enunciated with MEN1 syndrome are denominated with meningioma, ependymoma or angiofibroma [1,2]. Endocrine tumours are discerned on account of excessive hormonal secretion engendered from various neoplasm or on account of neoplastic evolution. Approximately 10% instances can occur due to a de-novo genomic variant. Offspring of an individual with MEN1 syndrome quantifies a 50% possibility of inheriting the genomic variant. Cogent prenatal diagnosis can be determined in instances where specific genomic variant of a particular family is known.
