is thyroidectomy the ONLY way to determine if a papillary lesion / follicular neoplasm is benign or malignant?

---

My wife recently underwent FNAB for the thyroid gland and the findings were:
1. PAPILLARY LESION
2. FOLLICULAR NEOPLASM.
Suggest thyroidectomy for a definitive diagnosis.
Microscopic Description:
Smears disclose a fairly cellular aspirate composed of cohesive clusters of follicular cells, in attempt to form acini and short papillary fronds. The cells show vesicular nuclei, with focal areas of pleomorphism. The background is hemorrhagic containing thin colloid materials and few mixed leukocytes.

I really would like to know if the it is benign or malignant but is there any other way besides invasive surgery? Thanks a lot in advance for all the answers and help.
If FNAB demonstrate follicular neoplasm , we must perform thyroid lobectomy for determining if it's malignant or not , and regarding to this , we will design the further definite and main operation .

There is no way other than this yet .

In some situations , we can perform total thyroidectomy as a plan to determine the permanent pathology at first ( there is several indications : old patients , mass more than 4 cm , ... ) .

But about Papillary neoplasm it's somewhat different : we can plan for a definite operation , also with a FNAB .  (+ info)

In using the neoplasm table, what do you do when there is no code in cancer in situ?

---

When using the neoplasm table in the ICD-9-CM, how would one code cancer in situ of the temporal lobe?
You'll never find it there.
What you're probably looking for is under skin: Ca in situ of temple or similar.  (+ info)

In the lungs, how does anatomical dead space relate to residual volume?

---

In the lungs, how does anatomical dead space relate to residual volume?
There is no relation ... Anatomical dead space is the gas in the conducting areas of the respiratory system, such as the mouth and trachea, where air does not come into contact with the alveoli of the lungs (does not participate in gas exchange). Residual Volume is the amount of air that stays in the lungs after a maximal exhalation. It is generally an indicator of "gas trapped" at the alveolar level, when elevated.

Anatomic dead space is estimated to be 1ml/lb lean body weight, which is approx. 25 to 33% o Tidal Volume. Where as RV is approximately 1.2 liters, and is based on height, age, and ethnicity through predicted equations.  (+ info)

what does residual melanoma mean in a pathology report?

---

I was diagnosed with malignant melanoma. Had a wide re excision that came back with residual melanoma. The primary tumor was 1.98 mm. Invasive. Nodular. What does it mean if there is residual melanoma?
It means that they found melanoma cells outside of the main tumor. It is one of the reasons they cut out such a large section.  (+ info)

How do you treat superior orbital fissure syndrome when the etiology is a neoplasm?

---

It's for school and I can't find the answer anywhere!
Superior orbital fissure syndrome consists of retro-orbital pain, paralysis of extra ocular muscles, impairment of first trigeminal branches and frequent involvement of the optic nerve.
One must treat the neoplasm. That depends on its type. A glioblastoma would be treated differently from a lymphoma for example.  (+ info)

If you smoke a lot, can cigarette smoke eventually become a part of the residual air?

---

residual air is the air in your lungs which you can never fully exhale out. It can only leave your lungs if you're stabbed in the lungs or if doctors cut open your lungs.
well it eventually gets gets filtered out i would think, that is if you quit.  (+ info)

Am I allergic to fruit or is it the residual pesticide?

---

Whenever I eat fruits, well particularly watermelon, plums and other fruits my lips tend to swell just a teensy bit and my gums and lips tend to itch really bad. I rinse my fruits off very well before I eat them so I wanted to know could this be that I'm allergic to the fruit or could it be residual pesticides thats is somehow still left after rinsing?
Unfortunately, I know a lot about allergies. Fruits are a very common allergy. Pesticides cover the outside of the fruit. So, grapes, apples, plums, and other foods where you typically eat the skin, would have quite a bit of pesticide on them. With watermelon, canteloupe, mango and other fruits where you typically do NOT eat the outer covering it couldn't be the pesticide triggering the allergic reaction, it would be an allergy to the actually food. There is also the possibility that you are allergic to both. You could rule out the pestide allergy by purchasing organic fruits and see if you still are producing an allergic response. If organic fruits are out of your budget you can try canned fruit that has the skin removes such as: pears, grapefruit, and peaches. I wish you luck; food allergies are not fun.  (+ info)

Is thyroidectomy advisable if your FNAB states that 'follicular neoplasm cannot be totally ruled out'?

---

In Ultrasound results, there are no calsifications
presence of complex solid nodules
3.1 x 2.1 x 1.8 cm size of solid nodular
I would think it would be the smart choice. There's no point in risking possible malignant neoplasms in such a pertinant area. I'd also get a second opinion and set of tests.  (+ info)

How are temporary crowns removed without pulling the residual tooth?

---

I have to return for the perm crown and am concerned about the procedure. How is the permanent crown 'adjusted' so that it 'fits' okay? Can the dentist shave or shape it somehow? For instance the temp crown is not allowing me to floss bwt. the teeth but I want the permanent to allow me to do that. Also, should I ask him to take an x-ray before putting on the perm or can he do that afterward to monitor the remaining tooth and pulp underneath? Thanks for any info.
A temporary crown is glued in with a temporary cement (sort of glue). The temporary crown can usually easily be removed by wiggling it off with an instrument. The dentist has asked you not to floss the tooth because the temp crown could come off. The permanent crown is cemented permanantly (permanant glue). You should be able to floss the tooth normally with the permanant crown. The dentist may have to adjust the crown to the correct bite by shaping/shaving a little on the outside.
