Case ReportsCo-existence of Papillary and Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma: Reports of Three Cases.
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) are two different types of thyroid carcinoma. They have different features in terms of cellular origin, histopathology, clinical features, prevalence, and prognosis. PTC originates from follicular cells, while MTC from parafollicular cells. ⋯ The second case was followed up postoperatively and did not receive treatment other than levothyroxine replacement. The co-existence of these tumors requires a different clinical approach in treatment and follow-up, depending on which type is dominant. Key Words: Mixed thyroid carcinoma, Papillary thyroid carcinoma, Medullary thyroid carcinoma.

Case ReportsSturge-weber Syndrome with Bilateral Fronto-parieto-temporal Lobe Atrophy and Bilateral Leptomeningeal Angiomatosis: A Rare Case.
Sturge-weber Syndrome (SWS) is a phacomatosis characterised by Port-Wine stains, leptomeningeal angiomatosis, and glaucoma. Leptomeningeal angiomatosis is seen in 10% to 20% of the cases with the facial nevus, usually on the ipsilateral side. Parietal and occipital regions are the most commonly involved areas; however, it can involve any area of the brain. ⋯ Here, we present a case of a 3-month child with bilateral Port-Wine stains who presented with generalised fits. On the basis of Port-Wine stains, SWS was suspected, and MRI was done which showed cerebral atrophy in bilateral fronto-parieto-temporal regions and bilateral leptomeningeal angiomatosis, which are rare findings according to the literature. Key Words: Sturge-weber syndrome, Phacomatosis, Port-wine stain, Fits.
