Adamantinoma-Like Ewing Sarcoma of the Thyroid: Case Report and Literature Review

Authors: Crisafulli Gregory, MD, Trivedi Aakash, DO, Bittar Noor, MS, Ankudey Edem, Akmal Amer, MD and Christian Derick, MD

Abstract: Adamantinoma-Like Ewing Sarcoma (ALES) is an exceptionally rare tumor, traditionally classified as a variant of Ewing Sarcoma due to the presence of the EWSR1-FLI1 translocation. Predominantly affecting the head and neck, particularly the parotid gland, ALES exhibits a slight female predominance. Adamantinomas and Ewing sarcomas differ significantly in their origin, histology, and clinical presentation. This case report presents a unique instance of ALES originating in the thyroid gland, marking the first documented case of thyroid ALES incidentally presenting with abdominal pain. A 39-year-old male with a complex medical history presented with acute right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Initial evaluation for suspected hepatobiliary disease revealed a liver mass and an asymmetrically enlarged thyroid with a suspicious nodule.

Pediatric Thyroid Schwannoma: A Case Report

Authors: Brittany Al-Atrache, MS, DO, Michelle Abramova, DO, Victoriya Staab, MD and Michael Sullivan, MD

Abstract: A case of a thyroid schwannoma in a 12-year-old male is described. An asymptomatic right sided neck mass was initially seen on telemedicine as a shadow. After a workup; the patient underwent an en bloc excision of the mass, pathology was consistent with a benign schwannoma. To our knowledge this is the 5 ^th case of a thyroid schwannoma in a pediatric patient described in the literature since the first case was reported in 2004.

Surgeon-Performed Ultrasound in Preoperative Parathyroid Localization: A Real-World Experience in a Community Hospital

Authors: Mustapha El Lakis, Jake McKee and Natasha Mohan

Abstract: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is an endocrine disorder which is only curable with the surgical removal of the hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland(s). Surgeon-performed Ultrasound (SUS) has been shown to be an accurate and instrumental tool in preoperative parathyroid localization and can improve patient outcomes. This study aims to report on real-world experience from a community-based hospital on preoperative SUS in comparison to Radiology-performed US (RUS).
