A bstrAct Carney’s triad is a rare nonhereditary condition affecting young females. Its prevalence is less than one in a million population. 1 It is characterized by gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), pulmonary chondroma, and extra-adrenal paraganglioma. The genetic alterations in this triad are yet to be understood. It is more appropriately classified as a novel multiple endocrine neoplasia. We report an interesting case of a young lady incidentally detected with tumors composing the triad.

A bstrAct Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common endocrine malignancy often presenting with multifocal solid thyroid lesions or cystic lymph nodes and has a good prognosis. A large solid cystic appearance of the primary is a rare entity that is associated with locally advanced disease. Extrathyroidal extension (ETE) is one of the few risk factors for local recurrence. We present a case of a 58-year-old lady who had presented with a cystic large thyroid tumor, papillary cancer on cytology, solid cystic on imaging with laryngeal tract invasion, and pharyngeal involvement at the surgery. Adequate preoperative planning and intraoperative measures are essential to achieve a good outcome.

Medullary carcinoma thyroids (MTCs) are rare malignancies of the thyroid gland, which arise from the parafollicular C-cells. They account for 5% of thyroid malignancies. The index case presented to us with bilateral pheochromocytomas and MTC. The family treated by us included the index case of MEN2A who underwent bilateral adrenalectomy and total thyroidectomy with central compartment neck dissection, his father with MTC treated with thyroid surgery and brother with a solitary nodule thyroid under evaluation. Father succumbed to the disease 8 months later. Surgery is the primary treatment in MTC with genetic testing, contributing to early diagnosis and treatment. MTC with MEN2A is a rare entity, with our case presenting in the third decade with no metastases. Diagnosis of MEN2A involves the complex biochemical workup followed by adrenal surgery before thyroidectomy. A poor understanding would lead to major catastrophe. Hence, there is a need to report this rare occurrence in a family.

I just crossed my 65th birthday and retired from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India, serving as the Chairman of the Department of Surgical Disciplines. In this long surgical career, I had the good fortune to interact and work in close association with surgical practitioners of several disciplines, viz. general surgery, plastic surgery, cardiac surgery neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, ocular surgery, and pediatric surgery, just to name a few. A unique observation was made in this long career that two breeds of surgeons hardly ever conduct randomized trials: the plastic surgeons and the endocrine surgeons. Randomized clinical trials are considered the gold standard for the practice of evidence-based medicine.
