โœฆ Synopsis

The case of a 76-year-old white woman with squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland arising in a background of Hashimoto's thyroiditis is presented. Squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland is a very rare and aggressive tumor, and only a few cases are reported as arising in Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Although Hashimoto's thyroiditis alone does not necessarily predispose patients to malignancy, the finding of a prominent nodule in such a patient should suggest the possibility of malignancy, and an aggressive search and treatment regimen, including surgical intervention, should be pursued.

The derivation of metaplastic squamous epithelium of the thyroid gland has been the subject of a number of embryologic studies. Small foci of benign squamous epithelium may be seen as an incidental finding in surgical specimens. Rarely an entire lobe, simultaneously affected by chronic lymphocytic t

## Abstract To investigate the possible relationship of HTLVโ€I virus infection to autoimmune thyroid disease, we examined, firstly, the frequency of HTLVโ€I seropositivity among patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and, secondly, the frequency of Hashimoto's thyroiditis in patients with HTLVโ€I asso
