Abstract:
A 20-year-old female presented with a slowly growing solitary left thyroid nodule for 1 year. USG and CECT neck showed a 4 × 3 cm solid-cystic nodule in the left lobe of thyroid, with notable absence of the right lobe. FNAC from the nodule was Bethesda V. Operative findings confirmed right thyroid lobe agenesis with corresponding absence of right superior thyroid vessels. The right sided RLN, ESBLN, superior and inferior parathyroids, and inferior thyroid vasculature were in their anatomical positions. She underwent standard left hemithyroidectomy. Histopathological examination revealed follicular variant of papillary carcinoma.

The follicles have a central cavity lined by simple cuboidal to squamous epithelial cells called follicular cells. These cells produce the glycoprotein...
01:20Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...

TH is indispensable for the normal development and maturation of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems during fetal and childhood growth. It facilitates bone mineral turnover and regulates protein synthesis in developing tissues, contributing significantly to overall growth and...

01:11Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...
