The fine needle cytology aspiration in four cases (False negative) diagnosed as nodular goiter with cystic degeneration consisted of straw colored fluid with foamy macrophages and abundant
colloid were subsequently confirmed on histopathology as papillary carcinoma.
A change of
colloid from hydroxyethyl starch to gelatin does not reduce rate of renal failure or mortality in surgical critical care patients: Results of a retrospective cohort study.
Out of 56 cases,
colloid goitre was the most common pathology in 35.7% cases, hyperplasic nodule/ toxic nodule in 25% cases, Hashimoto thyroiditis in 17.8% cases, lymphocytic thyroiditis in 17.8% cases and subacute thyroiditis (De Quervain's thyroiditis) in 3.57% cases.
On CT, the density of the
colloid cyst depends on its water content.
Colloid carcinoma can be confused with mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) or IPMN with invasive carcinomas due to its predominantly cystic imaging features.

colloid and a pump beam of 1 mW.
There has been a discussion with regards to the superiority of either microsurgical or endoscopic methods for the treatment of
colloid cysts.1,2,5,6 The endoscopic approach requires a smaller opening and corticotomy, and arguably, offers much better visualization.
The density was set at 0.1 g/[cm.sup.3], and the initial model of
colloid unit cell at the density of 0.1 obtained is shown in Figure 3.
Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of hemorrhagic
colloid cyst.
Colloid cysts are benign congenital tumors of the brain located in the anterosuperior part of the third ventricle comprising 1% of CNS tumors and occur in three individuals per million per year [1-4].
