DOI: 10.1093/ajcp/aqaf121.081
Abstract: Intrathyroidal ectopic thymic tissue (IETT) is a rare, benign finding in children due to aberrant thymic migration. Often incidentally, its ultrasound (US) features can mimic malignant thyroid nodules. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is associated with increased… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/rlu.0000000000002316
Abstract: A 56-year-old woman with secondary hyperparathyroidism was referred for preoperative localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid lesions. Tc-MIBI dual-phase and SPECT/CT parathyroid scan showed multiple focal activities behind the thyroid and in the anterior mediastinum, diagnosed as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/avj.70010
Abstract: A 2-year-old female spayed British Shorthair cat presented for investigation of chronic small intestinal diarrhoea, which was determined to be attributable to ionised hypercalcaemia. A cranial mediastinal mass was identified on computed tomography; median sternotomy… read more here.
