Papillary thyroid carcinoma and familial adenomatous polyposis of the colon.
Thu, 11/27/2008 - 09:09CONCLUSIONS: Cribriform-morular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma is an uncommon diagnosis known to be associated with familial adenomatous polyposis. Although the incidence is rare, this diagnosis should raise the clinician's suspicions to recommend both colorectal screening and genetic counseling for family members.

Analysis of t cell receptor vβ diversity in peripheral cd4+ and cd8+ t lymphocytes in patients with autoimmune thyroid di
Thu, 11/27/2008 - 04:00Autoimmune thyroid diseases are characterized by intrathyroidal infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes reactive to self-thyroid antigens. Early studies analysing T cell receptor (TCR) V[alpha] gene usage have shown oligoclonal expansion of intrathyroidal T lymphocytes but not peripheral blood T cells. However, TCR V[beta] diversity of the isolated CD4+ and CD8+ T cell compartments in the peripheral blood has not been characterized fully in these patients.
