Purpose To examine a possible case of Paget’s disease of bone (PDB) in an Indigenous pre-contact male from Canada, individual D of the Skinner site in Ontario. Methods Radiographs, CT scan and histological analysis. Results The histological analysis revealed the mosaic pattern that characterizes PDB. CT scans show advanced sclerosis of the cranium and a diminished diplӧe with osteolytic lesions. Conclusions The pathological features that have been identified are collectively characteristic of PDB. Significance The Skinner case advances our understanding of the global history and distribution of PDB. Limitations of Study Only two New World cases have been identified and neither has been studied in sufficient detail. Suggestions for Future Research The older individuals in precolonial New World skeletal series should be given CT scans, which are non-intrusive, to be followed by histological and genetic analyses when indicated.

Hypercalcemia in PDB is rare; its occurrence requires thorough investigations as it may reveal several diseases, such as primary hyperparathyroidism, malignant transformation, metastases, or myeloma.

Paget's disease is characterized by disorganized bony tissue due to altered equilibrium of bone formation and resorption. Its malignant transformation is well known and is usually described to an osteosarcoma, often with bad prognosis. In this paper, we present a case clinic of an angiosarcoma from a Paget’s disease of a pelvic bone. The patient underwent a surgical procedure of tumor resection with wide margins (Enneking zone 2-3). The follow-up of 5 years in this case is unique in the literature.

ZusammenfassungDer klassische M. Paget der Mamille ist histologisch charakterisiert durch eine intraepidermale Tumorinfiltration, die von einem intraduktalen oder invasiven Mammakarzinom ausgeht, immunhistologisch durch eine regelhafte Überexpression von HER2 und klinisch durch ekzemartige Veränderungen von Mamille und Areola. Zu den Varianten mit davon abweichenden histologischen, immunhistologischen und klinischen Erscheinungsformen gehören der isolierte M. Paget der Mamille, der anaplastische M. Paget, der M. Paget mit Invasion und der pigmentierte M. Paget der Mamille. Differenzialdiagnostisch ist der M. Paget der Mamille abzugrenzen gegenüber benignen Veränderungen, insbesondere der Toker-Zell-Hyperplasie, dem Mamillenekzem und seltenen Dermatosen.

Paget's disease of the bone is a metabolic bone disease of unknown origin, and is characterized by an increased phase of resorption, followed by an aberrant osteoformation phase. It is common in Europe, North America, New Zealand, and Australia, but infrequent in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and in the Colombian population there are case reports. It is usually asymptomatic and is diagnosed incidentally by radiographic findings or an elevated alkaline phosphatase. The use of bisphosphonates favors the control of bone turnover and prevents complications such as fractures. A series of cases in Colombia is presented, along with a review of the literature.

Teaching point: When the joints between bones are ankylosed, such as in ankylosing spondylitis, Paget’s disease can involve multiple contiguous bones leading to pagetic vertebral ankylosis.

Poorly controlled Paget's disease leads to excessive blood loss following total hip arthroplasty. The effect in shoulder arthroplasty is unknown. The authors reviewed 3 patients with Paget's disease involving the proximal humerus, comparing them with 17 patients with Paget's disease but no humeral involvement. The 3 patients had an estimated blood loss of 1400 mL, 1100 mL, and 350 mL, compared with an average of 280 mL in the control group. The first 2 cases required 4 units of packed red blood cells intraoperatively, and both were not managed with bisphosphonates. Paget's disease of the humerus leads to more intraoperative blood loss and higher blood transfusion requirements, particularly in cases not managed with bisphosphonates.

Paget's disease is a chronic benign bone disease characterized by excessive and abnormal bone remodeling. Monostotic Paget's disease accounts for only 20% of the cases, and the monostotic form involving the vertebra with the Mickey Mouse sign is very rare. Herein, we report a case of suspected bony metastasis in the second lumbar vertebra that was diagnosed as Paget's disease because of the Mickey Mouse sign on bone scintigraphy, and the diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy. Therefore, bone scintigraphy may provide a positive contribution to the diagnosis, and may help to avoid unnecessary biopsy in cases with specific signs and patterns.Paget, aşırı ve anormal kemik yapımı ve yıkımı ile karakterize kronik, iyi huylu bir kemik hastalığıdır. Monostotik Paget hastalığı, sadece olguların %20’sini oluşturmakla kalmaz; Mickey Mouse bulgusu olan, vertebra tutulumu ile giden monostotik formu daha da nadirdir. Sunduğumuz olguda, ikinci lumbar vertebrada metastaz şüphesi ile araştırılan hastada; kemik sintigrafisinde Mickey Mouse işareti görülmesi üzerine Paget hastalığı tanısı kondu ve tanı biyopsiyle doğrulandı. Bu olguda görülmektedir ki; kemik sintigrafisi tanıya olumlu katkıda bulunur ve belirli belirti ve paternler görülmesi sayesinde gereksiz biyopsileri önleyebilir.

Paget’s disease of bone is characterized by a chronic focal bone remodelling disorder, which is usually detected incidentally during routine imagining examinations. Although the measurement of total serum alkaline phosphatase usually provides a general indication of bone turnover in Paget’s disease, about 10-15% of patients present with alkaline phosphatase levels within the normal range. The treatment of symptomatic forms relies on bisphosphonates that are efficient in reducing the bone turnover. Here, I present the case of an 80-year-old man suffering from chronic low back pain, and diagnosed as Paget’s disease, with normal serum alkaline phosphatase and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase levels.

Tc-99m methylene diphosphonate bone scintigraphy (bone scan) is a highly sensitive technique for the evaluation of osseous pathology. However, the nonspecificity of the method can present diagnostic challenges in differentiating benign from malignant processes. Often, Paget's disease and osseous metastasis can coexist in elderly patients. Therefore, it is important to accurately distinguish the two pathologies, as each has a different prognosis and impacts clinical management. Obtaining the appropriate clinical diagnosis often involves a combination of laboratory, radiographic, and clinical data. We present a case of newly diagnosed prostatic carcinoma presenting with synchronous osseous metastasis, degenerative changes, and incidental multifocal Paget's disease.

Intraepithelial sebaceous neoplasia in the forms (or subclassification) of pagetoid spread and carcinoma in situ is a common feature of periocular sebaceous carcinoma and is associated with less favourable outcomes. Seminal studies of periocular sebaceous carcinoma in the 1980s indicated that the two patterns of intraepithelial spread had differing influences on prognosis with pagetoid invasion being worse. Later studies reported conflicting results, but careful inspection of those studies revealed considerable variation in what was meant by pagetoid invasion. Different interpretations of pagetoid spread continue, leading to ambiguous results in clinical studies and miscommunication with potential unintended decisions affecting clinical management. This paper reviews the background leading to the frequent interchangeable use of pagetoid spread with in situ sebaceous carcinoma and how this problem confounds interpretation of clinical studies. The author recommends that for effective communication, all morphological patterns of in situ spread of sebaceous carcinoma fall under the term intraepithelial sebaceous neoplasia, which can be accompanied by subclassification whenever desired.

Dermatoses of the nipple and areola are rare. The Paget's disease is a common dermatosis, which is presented in the form of a well-demarcated erythematous area, sometimes erosive, oozing or hyperkeratotic. Because the condition may be confused with benign diseases of the nipple, treatment is frequently delayed. The study aimed to highlight the incidence and make a clinical assessment of patients with Paget’s disease of the breast in the eastern part of Libya. The Medical records and histopathological reports of all patients attended the breast clinic in 7th October Hospital in the period from June 1990 till December 2008 were collected and reviewed retrospectively. Demography, clinical features, and biopsy results were noted. The results: The total number of patients who had breast cancer was 897, from which Paget’s disease was diagnosed in 19 patients (2.1%). Mean age at presentation was 57.3 years, and all of them were Women. Eczema of the nipple-areola complex and palpable mass occurred in (63.1% and 42.1%) respectively. The metastatic axillary lymphadenopathy at time of presentation were found in 36.8%. We conclude that Paget’s disease is serious but commonly misdiagnosed. A thorough history and physical examination are important for every patient who is presented with skin and/or nipple changes of the breast, and physicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for Paget’s disease of the breast.

Well-powered studies evaluating the effects of Paget's disease on patient outcomes following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are limited. The objective of this study was to determine whether Paget's disease patients undergoing primary TKA have higher rates of complications. A query of an administrative database was performed identifying Paget's disease patients undergoing primary TKA as the study cohort. Patients who did not have Paget's disease served as a matching cohort. Study group patients were matched in a 1:5 ratio by age, sex, and comorbidities. The query yielded 34,284 patients in the study (n = 5,714) and matched (n = 28,570) cohorts. Outcomes analyzed included length of stay (LOS), costs of care, 90-day medical and surgical complications, and 2-year implant-related complications. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) of complications. Paget's disease patients undergoing primary TKA were found to have significantly longer in-hospital LOS (4 vs. 3 days, p

Objectives: To study computed tomography findings in Paget's disease of temporal bone (PDTB) and analyze the relations between otic capsule bone mineral density values measured in Hounsfield Units (HU) and hearing loss (HL). Study Design: Observational case-control study. Setting: Tertiary referral center. Patients: Radiographically confirmed PDTB cases and control group. Intervention: Diagnostic. Main Outcome Measures: Hearing thresholds and computed tomography bone density values. Results: Twenty-three ears in the case group (PDTB) and 27 control ears were included. In the PDTB group, HL was found in 87% of the ears (43% mixed) and an air-conduction threshold of 50.7 dB (SD = 19.8). In the control group, 48% of the ears showed HL (7% mixed) and an air-conduction threshold of 34.5 dB (SD = 20.6) was found; the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Measurements of bone density (HU) in the otic capsule (regions of interest [ROI] 1 and 2) and in the petrous bone (ROI 3) were significantly lower (p < 0.05) in the PDTB group than in controls. The PDTB group presented a significant association between otic capsule bone density in ROI 1 and mean otic capsule density with air and bone-conduction thresholds (p < 0.05). In controls, no association was observed between any density value and audiometric thresholds. Conclusion: PDTB patients showed more frequent HL, lower thresholds, and a higher proportion of mixed HL than controls. Bone density (HU) was decreased in all ROIs in PDTB patients in comparison with controls. Bone density in the otic capsule was associated with HL in PDTB patients, but no association was observed between bone density and HL in controls.

Paget’s disease of bone is very common in older people, secondary to an altered remodeling, deforming bone structure. X-rays are characteristic. Most cases are asymptomatic, but can attain pathological fractures and long term infrequent cases of secondary sarcomas.

Highlights • A rare case of Vulval Paget’s Disease (VPD) treated with primary Radiotherapy(RT) • Till date only 14 cases of VPD have been treated with primary RT in literature. • This case is probably the 15th case to be reported. • Invasive VPD in perimenopausal age group is very rare as was in this case. • Role of radiotherapy for treating invasive VPD is still not established in literature., Extramammary Vulval Paget’s Disease (VPD) is rare neoplasm of post-menopausal women. In relatively young perimenopausal patients, it can cause both diagnostic dilemma and therapeutic challenges. Majority of VPD is of non-invasive variety. Among invasive Paget’s disease, only 20% cases show invasion more than 1 mm. The present report describes a unique case of an invasive extra-mammary VPD with depth of invasion more than 4 mm presenting at a relatively young perimenopausal lady. Only 14 cases of VPD has been treated with primary radiotherapy in literature till date. We report this case to be the 15th case where radiotherapy was solely used to treat an invasive VPD.

There are few well-powered studies investigating the association of Paget's disease of bone on patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study utilized a nationwide database to determine whether Paget's patients undergoing primary THA are associated with higher rates of (1) lengths of stay (LOS); (2) costs; and (3) complications (medical/surgical and implant-related).Using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision and Current Procedural Terminology codes, Paget's patients undergoing primary THA were identified and matched to non-Paget's patients in a 1:5 ratio by age, sex, and comorbidities utilizing the PearlDiver database. This resulted in 21,714 patients in Paget's (n = 3619) and non-Paget's (n = 18,095) cohorts. Outcomes assessed included LOS, episode-of-care costs, medical/surgical complications, and implant-related complications. A P value less than .003 was considered statistically significant.Compared to the matched cohort, Paget's patients undergoing primary THA had significantly longer LOS (P.0001), higher 90-day total global episode-of-care costs (P.0001), higher 90-day medical and surgical complications (P.0001), and higher implant-related complications (P.0001).We found that Paget's was associated with higher rates of LOS, costs, and complications. Although there was an association found, the risk appears reasonably low compared to the matched cohort. The study can be utilized by orthopedic professionals to counsel and educate these patients of potential complications which may occur following their procedure.

“TWEETABLE” ABSTRACT: Extramammary Paget’s treatment with imiquimod and photodynamic therapy in combination can be easily tolerated and used safely and effectively.

Paget's disease of the vulva is a rare form of extramammary Paget's disease mainly affecting postmenopausal women. Its pathophysiology remains largely unknown. Up to fairly recently, the only treatment for this disease was surgery, often mutilating the vulva, with significant psychosexual repercussions without the assurance of complete therapeutic efficacy. New therapeutic approaches -topical treatments, radiotherapy or chemotherapy- have emerged in recent years but lack consensual guidelines. We present a literature review of the recent results published in this field.

Pamidronate [3-amino-1-hydroxypropylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate (APD)] was the first nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate (N-BP) investigated in clinical studies. In contrast to other clinically used bisphosphonates, pamidronate was discovered and its properties were initially studied in an Academic Institution. On the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the first publications on the biological effects of bisphosphonates, I review in this article the contribution of Leiden investigators to the development of pamidronate that led to the recognition of the significance of the Nitrogen atom in the side chain of bisphosphonates for their action on bone resorption and to the formulation of principles for the use of N-BPs in the management of patients with different skeletal disorders.

Background: Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and Paget’s Disease of the Bone (PDB) are two distinct bone mineral disorders which rarely co-exist. It has been very scarcely reported in the elderly but almost unheard of in young adults. Clinical case A middle-aged Indian lady presents with multiple and recurrent facial and jaw bony swellings, since the age of 12. She had normal developmental as a child, without visual, auditory deficits or limb deformities. No family history of hypercalcemia or endocrine disorders was elicited. At initial diagnosis, biochemical parameters were consistent with PHPT, with mild to moderate hypercalcemia (2.6-3.0 mmol) and concomitant hypophosphatemia (0.6-0.8 mmol/L), elevated intact PTH 10.6pmol/L and ALP persistently more than 350 U/L. She had undergone multiple surgeries to remove the bony swellings, presumed to be brown tumours. She developed medullary nephrocalcinosis approximately 30 years after onset of illness. Over a span of three decades, numerous modalities were employed in attempt to localise the parathyroid lesion, including imaging (ultrasonography, sestamibi with SPECT CT, FDG PET),angiography, venous sampling and exploratory neck surgeries which were unsuccessful. Due to failure in localising the offending parathyroid lesion, it was conceded to maintain her on medical therapy.She was initially started on oral phosphate therapy, intranasal calcitonin and subsequently calcimimetics. Aside from rising ALP levels, her other biochemical parameters remained static. Her diagnosis was re-evaluated when she presented with osteomyelitis of the right mandible requiring surgery. Pre -operative CT imaging showed mixed lytic and sclerotic lesions at the mandible, maxilla, facial bones and skull. It also revealed diffuse thickening of the calvarium with narrowing of the posterior fossa resulting in hydrocephalus, requiring a ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion. Histopathological examination of the mandible showed a background of osteosclerosis. These findings were inconsistent with PHPT and was most often described in PDB. On the other hand, a repeated skeletal survey showed generalised osteopenia in the small bones of the hand with subperiosteal and terminal phalanges reabsorption which was in keeping with PHPT. Her pelvis, spine and long bones remained normal and bone densitometry was preserved. It was concluded that this patient was suffering from dual pathology, PHPT and PDB and was commenced on bisphosphonates. Conclusion: This lady presented with two diseases which simulate each other despite not being etiologically linked. The aberrancy in the age of onset and the overlapping clinical features of the dual pathology imposed a significant challenge in making the correct diagnosis. Retrospectively, histopathological examination of the bone at an earlier stage of disease may have been the key to solving this perplexing case.

Introduction: Paget’s disease affects 3–4% of the population; however, literature describing outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in this population are limited. Given the known concerns with bleeding, heterotopic ossification (HO), and component loosening, we describe our results with primary and revision THAs in Paget’s disease with emphasis on implant survivorship, radiographic results, and clinical outcomes. Methods: We identified 25 THAs performed with contemporary uncemented acetabular components in patients with Paget’s disease from 1999 to 2014. Mean age and follow-up were 78 and 7 years. Results: In primary THAs, survivorship free from aseptic acetabular and femoral loosening was 100% and 94% at 8 years. 7 patients (41%) received blood transfusions. HO was seen in 9 (53%). Mean Harris Hip Score (HHS) improved from 49 to 76. In revision THAs, survivorship free from acetabular and/or femoral aseptic loosening was 100% at 5 years. 3 patients (38%) received a transfusion. HO was seen in 5 (63%). Mean HHS improved from 52 to 77. There were no radiographic signs of aseptic loosening among unrevised cases in either group. Discussion: Our investigation demonstrates that concerns with acetabular fixation in Paget’s disease have been mitigated with contemporary uncemented acetabular components. Complications previously noted, namely intraoperative bleeding and HO, continue to be of concern.

Background: Inclusion body myopathy associated with Paget disease of bone (PDB) and/or frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD) is a rare, autosomal dominant condition, characterized by adult-onset muscle weakness, early-onset PDB, and premature frontotemporal dementia. Paget’s disease is a chronic disorder of bone resulting in increased bone resorption, followed by a disorganized and excessive formation of bone. Clinical Case: A 43 year old gentleman was referred to neurology services with foot drop, limb weakness and cognitive impairment. Following a prolonged period of diagnostic evaluation a mutation in valosin-containing protein (VCP) gene was uncovered IBMPFD has a variable phenotype which may include PDB. This gentleman denied bony pain and had an alkaline phosphatase within reference range. Plain film radiographs at multiple sights demonstrated no signs of PDB. An MRI whole body was performed which reported coarse trabecular markings in L2 vertebral body and multilevel degenerative changes with bridging osteophytes in the lumbar spine consistent with PDB. At initial review in endocrine clinic, he denied fractures or bone pain. He had no signs of increased cardiac output or cranial nerve deficits. A radionuclide bone scan identified intense radiopharmaceutical accumulation in L2 vertebral body consistent with MRI findings and also curvilinear increased activity in the left occipital bone and low-grade activity in the left hip, thus confirming polyostotic Paget’s disease. He received a 5mg IV infusion of zolendronate, side effects of which included myalgia, pyrexia and lethargy. Six months following the zoledronate infusion a repeat bone scan demonstrated that the extent of uptake at affected sites had decreased significantly. He subsequently fractured his left femur following a mechanical fall. PDB can affect up to 50% of patients with IBMFTD. PDB can lead to complications such as bone pain, localized pain and deformity of the long bones, pathologic fractures and deafness. This case highlights the association of Paget’s disease with IBMFTD and as it can be asymptomatic, as in our case, radiological imaging is required for diagnosis. It also reminds us that Paget’s disease can be due to genetic causes. Understanding the role of VCP in the cell cycle may help in further understanding bone physiology.

Background The death rate of metastatic breast cancer in patients with mammary Paget's disease and underlying cancer is 61.3%, with a 10-year cumulative survival rate of 33%. The aim of this investigation was to develop a reliable nomogram to predict Female Paget’s Disease patient, thus helping clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods Date of patients diagnosed with Paget’s Disease between 2004 to 2014 were downloaded from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)database. Univariate and multivariate cox analysis were used to identify independent prognostic factors, which were used to construct nomograms to predict the probabilities of OS. The performance of the nomogram was assessed by C-indexes, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calibration curve. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to compare clinical usage between the nomogram and Adjusted AJCC staging system.Results Based on the univariate and multivariate cox analysis, features that correlated with survival outcomes were used to establish nomograms for OS prediction. The nomograms showed favorable sensitivity at predicting 1-,3-, and 5-year OS, with a C-index of 0.795(95% confidence interval (CI) 0.773-0.818) for OS. Calibration curves and ROC curves revealed excellent predictive accuracy. Finally, the 3- and 5-year DCA curves yielded larger net benefits than the Adjusted AJCC stage. Conclusions In conclusion, we have successfully established an effective nomogram to predict OS in Paget’s Disease patient, which can help clinicians in determining the appropriate therapy strategies for individual PD patients.

Paget’s disease of bone was first described by Sir James Paget as early as in the year 1877

Paget’s disease of bone is a localized disorder of bone remodeling. These functional and structural alterations, interacting with the specific characteristics of the site of involvement, account for most of the complications of the disease. Bilateral progressive hearing loss is the most frequently encountered complication of Paget’s disease, because of the involvement of the temporal bones. There may be difficulty in distinguishing patients with presbycusis from those with Paget’s disease-related hearing loss. Pagetic hearing loss seems to be stabilized by effective medical treatment. For patients with severe hearing loss, cochlear implantation may be recommended.

Male breast cancer accounts for less than 0.5%of all breast cancer, and Paget's disease of the breast in males is extremely rare. Here, we report 2 cases of Paget's disease of the nipple areola complex with invasive ductal carcinoma as typical examples of male PDB. Case 1 was a 64-year-old man with an altered appearance of the left nipple, itching and redness, without a palpable breast mass at first. Case 2 was a 55-year-old man with a palpable mass in the left breast and histologically confirmed Paget's disease of the nipple with invasive ductal carcinoma. Both patients underwent modified radical mastectomy but with different adjuvant therapies and remained well during follow-up with no recurrence. Furthermore, we reviewed all the sporadic cases of male PDB from the literature. This may help contribute to the development of diagnostic strategies and appropriate interventions for male Paget's disease of the breast. Key words: Paget's disease; male; clinical manifestations; treatment; prognosis

Context.— Paget disease of the breast, in most cases, represents intraepidermal spread of ductal carcinoma in situ. Molecular subtypes of invasive carcinoma of the breast have prognostic and therapeutic significance and show characteristic distribution. Little is known about the distribution of molecular subtypes in Paget disease of the breast. Objectives.— To examine the distribution of molecular subtypes in Paget disease of the breast and to compare them to concurrent invasive carcinoma of the breast, if present. Design.— We examined 48 cases of Paget disease of the breast with immunohistochemistry and antibodies against estrogen and progesterone receptors, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and Ki-67, as well as HER2 chromogenic in situ hybridization, to classify the cases into molecular subtypes. Then, we compared the results to the molecular subtypes of associated invasive carcinoma of the breast, if present. Results.— The HER2 subtype was the most common found in Paget disease of the breast, followed by the luminal B subtype and 2 cases of the triple-negative subtype. The associated invasive carcinoma cases were most often of the luminal B subtype, followed by the HER2 subtype and the triple-negative subtype. The molecular subtype of Paget disease and invasive carcinoma was congruent in most of the cases. Conclusions.— Molecular subtypes of invasive carcinoma of the breast can already be detected in Paget disease. The distribution of molecular subtypes of Paget disease and of Paget disease–associated invasive carcinoma differs from invasive carcinoma without associated Paget disease, with the HER2 subtype overrepresented in Paget disease and associated invasive carcinoma and the luminal and triple-negative subtypes underrepresented.

Introduction. Paget’s disease of the bone is a skeleton condition affecting bone remodelling of unknown cause. Bone formation and resorption, as parts of bone turnover which are normally coupled in healthy skeleton, in this condition are disconnected. We aim to introduce an adult male case with the condition which is also diagnosed with a multinodular goitre. This is a case report. This is a 60-year old male who is a former smoker and recently accused intermittent mild loss of hearing at left ear. Whole body bone scintigram (20mCi, Tc99m) showed increased uptake of the radiotracer with high bone affinity at parietal and occipital parts of the skull. Accidental multinodular goitre is diagnosed with a large cystic macronodule. Fine needle aspiration showed BETHESDA 2 with modest risk of haemorrhage and indication of surgery. 6 months after a dose of 5 mg zolendronic acid the bone markers were not increased and subsequent follow-up is necessary. Conclusion. Early diagnosis of Paget’s bone disease improves the potential risk of complications; however, distant potential complications need lifelong periodic check-up. The synchronous diagnosis of multinodular goitre with dominant cystic macronodule seems accidental in this male case.
