- D.
Grading was suggested by lagios and his collegues
Correct Answer
D. Grading was suggested by lagios and his colleguesExplanation
The given statement "Grading was suggested by Lagios and his colleagues" is incorrect because the grading system for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) was actually suggested by a different group of researchers, known as the Van Nuys Prognostic Index (VNPI). The VNPI is a widely used system for predicting the risk of recurrence and guiding treatment decisions in patients with DCIS. Therefore, the correct answer is that the grading system was not suggested by Lagios and his colleagues.Rate this question:

Fine needle aspiration cytology choose the correct answer
- A.
The false positive rates are high
- B.
The false positive does not occur
- C.
The false negative rate is hight
- D.
The false negative rate is low
Correct Answer
C. The false negative rate is hightExplanation
The given answer states that the false negative rate is high. This implies that there is a high likelihood of the test incorrectly indicating the absence of a condition or disease when it is actually present. This is significant because it means that there is a higher chance of missing a diagnosis or having a false sense of security. It is important to be aware of this limitation when interpreting the results of fine needle aspiration cytology.Rate this question:

The treatment of choice for early breast cancer where conservative breast surgery is not possible
- A.
Modified radical mastectomy
- B.
Radical mastectomy
- C.
Extended radical mastectomy
- D.
RT
Correct Answer
A. Modified radical mastectomyExplanation
Modified radical mastectomy is the treatment of choice for early breast cancer when conservative breast surgery is not possible. This procedure involves the removal of the entire breast tissue, including the breast lump or tumor, as well as the axillary lymph nodes. Unlike radical mastectomy, which also removes the chest muscles, modified radical mastectomy preserves the chest muscles, resulting in better cosmetic outcomes and improved quality of life for the patient. Extended radical mastectomy is a more extensive procedure that involves the removal of additional tissue, and RT refers to radiation therapy, which is often used as an adjuvant treatment after surgery.Rate this question:

37year old premenopausal lady left breast carcinoma with axillary lymph node positive, MRM done, next procedure is
- A.
Adriamycin associated chemotherapy with tamoxifen if ER/PR positive
- B.
Only adriamycin
- C.
Radiotherapy
- D.
Option 4
Correct Answer
B. Only adriamycinExplanation
The next procedure after a modified radical mastectomy (MRM) for a 37-year-old premenopausal woman with left breast carcinoma and positive axillary lymph nodes would be adriamycin associated chemotherapy. This is typically followed by tamoxifen if the tumor is estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR) positive. The use of adriamycin as a chemotherapy drug is common in the treatment of breast cancer, as it helps to kill cancer cells. Radiotherapy may also be considered as part of the treatment plan, but it is not the immediate next step after MRM.Rate this question:

True about male breast cancer
- A.
Doesn’t follow gynaecomastia
- B.
Lobular variety common
- C.
Estrogen receptor negative
- D.
Surgery treatment of choice
Correct Answer
D. Surgery treatment of choiceExplanation
Male breast cancer is a rare condition, and it does not typically follow gynaecomastia, which is the enlargement of male breast tissue. The lobular variety of breast cancer is more common in men compared to the ductal variety. Male breast cancer is often estrogen receptor negative, meaning it does not respond to estrogen. The most common and effective treatment for male breast cancer is surgery, making it the treatment of choice.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not associated with fat necrosis
- A.
Liposuction
- B.
Radiotherapy
- C.
Mammography
- D.
Breast carcinoma Trauma
Correct Answer
D. Breast carcinoma TraumaExplanation
Fat necrosis is a condition where there is damage to fatty tissue, resulting in the formation of lumps or masses. Liposuction, radiotherapy, and trauma are all known to be associated with fat necrosis. Mammography, on the other hand, is a diagnostic procedure used to detect breast cancer and does not directly cause fat necrosis. Breast carcinoma, which refers to breast cancer, is also not directly associated with fat necrosis. Therefore, breast carcinoma is the correct answer as it is not typically linked to the development of fat necrosis.Rate this question:

Mutated p53 gene is formed in most of
- A.
Anaplastic Ca
- B.
PTC
- C.
Follicular
- D.
Medullary
Correct Answer
A. Anaplastic CaExplanation
Anaplastic Ca is the correct answer because a mutated p53 gene is commonly found in this type of cancer. The p53 gene is responsible for regulating cell division and preventing the formation of tumors. When this gene becomes mutated, it loses its ability to control cell growth, leading to the development of cancer. Anaplastic Ca is a highly aggressive and rapidly growing cancer, and the presence of a mutated p53 gene contributes to its aggressive nature.Rate this question:

A 18 year old Manju, smart looking girl comes with symptoms of thyrotoxicosis and diagnosed as graves disease. She doesn’t have eye signs. What is the procedure of choice
- A.
Lobectomy
- B.
Partial thyroidectomy
- C.
Subtotal thyroidectomy
- D.
Radio iodine
Correct Answer
C. Subtotal thyroidectomyExplanation
The procedure of choice for a patient with thyrotoxicosis and diagnosed with Graves' disease, but without eye signs, is subtotal thyroidectomy. This surgical procedure involves the removal of a large portion of the thyroid gland, leaving behind a small remnant. Subtotal thyroidectomy is preferred in cases where the patient is young and has a small goiter. It helps to alleviate the symptoms of thyrotoxicosis and reduces the risk of recurrence while preserving some thyroid function.Rate this question:

Thyroiditis which is more common in areas of iodine except
- A.
Hashimotos thyroiditis
- B.
De-Quervain’s thyroiditis
- C.
Ridel’s thyroiditis
- D.
Acue suppurative thyroiditis
Correct Answer
A. Hashimotos thyroiditisExplanation
Thyroiditis is inflammation of the thyroid gland. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, leading to chronic inflammation. It is the most common form of thyroiditis and is characterized by an enlarged thyroid gland, fatigue, weight gain, and other symptoms. De-Quervain's thyroiditis is a viral infection that causes sudden pain and swelling of the thyroid gland. Ridel's thyroiditis is a rare form of thyroiditis where the thyroid gland becomes replaced by fibrous tissue. Acute suppurative thyroiditis is a bacterial infection of the thyroid gland. Therefore, the correct answer is Hashimoto's thyroiditis, as it is not associated with areas of iodine deficiency.Rate this question:

36 years old shweta with diffuse enlargement of thyroid with increase TSH, decrease T4 T3, FNAC suggestive of chronic lympocytic thyroiditis. What will you do?
- A.
Thyroxine
- B.
Total thyroidectomy
- C.
Radio iodine
- D.
Antithyroid drugs
Correct Answer
A. ThyroxineExplanation
Thyroxine is the correct answer because it is the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland and is responsible for regulating the body's metabolism. In the case of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, the thyroid gland is enlarged and not producing enough thyroxine, leading to an increase in TSH and a decrease in T4 and T3 levels. Therefore, supplementing with thyroxine (thyroid hormone replacement therapy) would help normalize the hormone levels and alleviate symptoms. Total thyroidectomy, radio iodine, and antithyroid drugs are not appropriate treatments for this condition.Rate this question:

The investigation of choice in patients with thyroid nodule is
- A.
FNAC
- B.
USG
- C.
CT
- D.
Iodine uptake
Correct Answer
A. FNACExplanation
Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the investigation of choice in patients with thyroid nodules. FNAC involves inserting a thin needle into the nodule and aspirating cells for examination under a microscope. This procedure is minimally invasive, cost-effective, and has a high diagnostic accuracy for distinguishing between benign and malignant nodules. It helps in determining the nature of the nodule, guiding further management decisions, and avoiding unnecessary surgeries. Ultrasound (USG) and CT scans may also provide additional information, but FNAC is the preferred initial investigation for thyroid nodules. Iodine uptake is not used for the investigation of thyroid nodules.Rate this question:

The most common cause of hypothyroidism is
- A.
Hashimoto’s
- B.
Thyroidectomy
- C.
131 I therapy
- D.
Anti thyroid drugs
Correct Answer
A. Hashimoto’sExplanation
Hashimoto's is the most common cause of hypothyroidism. It is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, leading to inflammation and damage. This results in a decreased production of thyroid hormones, leading to hypothyroidism. Thyroidectomy, 131 I therapy, and anti-thyroid drugs are not the most common causes of hypothyroidism, although they can contribute to it in certain cases.Rate this question:

Kalloo 45 year’s presents with a swelling in the thyroid gland and a lymph node in the neck. Aspiration of the node shows amyloid material. What is the management of choice for this patient
- A.
Hemithyroidectomy with neck dissection
- B.
Total thyroidectomy with neck dissection
- C.
Total thyroidectomy with neck irradiation
- D.
Hemithyroidectomy
Correct Answer
B. Total thyroidectomy with neck dissectionExplanation
The management of choice for a patient presenting with a swelling in the thyroid gland and a lymph node in the neck, with aspiration of the node showing amyloid material, is total thyroidectomy with neck dissection. This is because the presence of amyloid material suggests the possibility of medullary thyroid carcinoma, which requires complete removal of the thyroid gland (total thyroidectomy) along with removal of the affected lymph nodes (neck dissection) to achieve optimal treatment outcomes. Hemithyroidectomy alone may not be sufficient in this case. Neck irradiation is not the preferred management option in this scenario.Rate this question:

Damage to the superior laryngeal nerve causes
- A.
No effect
- B.
Hoarseness
- C.
Loss of timbre and resonance
- D.
Loss of speech
Correct Answer
C. Loss of timbre and resonanceExplanation
Damage to the superior laryngeal nerve can lead to a loss of timbre and resonance in the voice. The superior laryngeal nerve controls the cricothyroid muscle, which is responsible for adjusting the tension of the vocal cords. When this nerve is damaged, it can result in a change in the quality of the voice, causing it to lose its characteristic tone and resonance. This can make the voice sound dull or flat, affecting the overall sound and quality of speech.Rate this question:

Treatment of choice in cold nodule is
- A.
I-131
- B.
Hemithyroidectomy
- C.
Subtotal thyroidectomy
- D.
Wait and watch
Correct Answer
B. HemithyroidectomyExplanation
Hemithyroidectomy is the treatment of choice in a cold nodule. A cold nodule refers to a thyroid nodule that does not take up radioactive iodine (I-131) during a scan. This indicates a lower likelihood of being cancerous. Hemithyroidectomy involves the surgical removal of half of the thyroid gland, which is the affected side where the cold nodule is located. This procedure allows for both diagnosis and treatment of the cold nodule, while preserving the function of the remaining healthy thyroid tissue.Rate this question:

Hyoid bone is removed to prevent the recurrence of
- A.
Thyroid nodule
- B.
Throglossal cyst
- C.
Ectopic thyroid
- D.
Papillary carcinoma
Correct Answer
B. Throglossal cystExplanation
The hyoid bone is removed to prevent the recurrence of a throglossal cyst. Throglossal cysts are congenital cysts that develop from remnants of the thyroglossal duct, which is a structure that forms during embryonic development. The hyoid bone is located in the neck and is closely associated with the thyroglossal duct. By removing the hyoid bone, surgeons ensure that all remnants of the thyroglossal duct are excised, reducing the risk of recurrence of the cyst.Rate this question:

High levels of calcitonin are seen in
- A.
Follicular ca
- B.
Papillary ca
- C.
Anaplastic ca
- D.
Medullary ca
Correct Answer
D. Medullary caExplanation
Medullary ca is a type of thyroid cancer that originates from the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland. These cells produce calcitonin, a hormone that helps regulate calcium levels in the body. Therefore, high levels of calcitonin are seen in medullary ca. This hormone can be used as a tumor marker to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of this specific type of thyroid cancer. Follicular ca, papillary ca, and anaplastic ca are other types of thyroid cancer that do not typically exhibit elevated levels of calcitonin.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. HypopaarathyroidismExplanation
Respiratory distress on the fifty day is likely due to hypoparathyroidism. Hypoparathyroidism is a condition characterized by low levels of parathyroid hormone, which can lead to low levels of calcium in the blood. This can cause muscle spasms and contractions, including those in the respiratory muscles, leading to difficulty breathing. Hypoparathyroidism can also cause other symptoms such as numbness and tingling, muscle cramps, and seizures.Rate this question:

Sings and symptoms of hyperthyroidism include all of the following except
- A.
Sleeping tachycardia
- B.
Exopthalmos
- C.
Pretibialmyxedema
- D.
Decreased sweating
Correct Answer
D. Decreased sweatingExplanation
Hyperthyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland produces excessive amounts of thyroid hormones. This leads to an overactive metabolism and a range of symptoms. Common symptoms of hyperthyroidism include increased heart rate (tachycardia), bulging eyes (exopthalmos), and thickening of the skin on the lower legs (pretibial myxedema). However, decreased sweating is not a typical symptom of hyperthyroidism. Sweating is often increased in individuals with hyperthyroidism due to the increased metabolic activity. Therefore, the correct answer is "Decreased sweating."Rate this question:

Treatment of hashimoto disease is
- A.
Carbimazole
- B.
Thyroxine
- C.
Radioiodine
- D.
STT
Correct Answer
B. ThyroxineExplanation
Thyroxine is the correct answer for the treatment of Hashimoto's disease. Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland, leading to an underactive thyroid. Thyroxine, a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone, is prescribed to replace the hormone that the thyroid gland is unable to produce. This medication helps to regulate the body's metabolism and energy levels. By taking thyroxine, patients with Hashimoto's disease can manage their symptoms and maintain a healthy thyroid function.Rate this question:

Inferior thyroid artery ligation in STT is done
- A.
As close to the thyroid
- B.
As far as possible
- C.
At its origin
- D.
Anywhere
Correct Answer
B. As far as possibleExplanation
Inferior thyroid artery ligation in STT is done as far as possible because this ensures complete occlusion of the artery and prevents any potential bleeding or damage to surrounding structures. By ligating the artery as far as possible from its origin, the surgeon can ensure that there is minimal risk of collateral circulation and that the blood supply to the thyroid gland is effectively cut off. This approach also reduces the chances of any residual blood flow or complications during the procedure.Rate this question:

- A.
Tracheostomy
- B.
Wart & watch
- C.
Open the sutures
- D.
Trid thyroidectomy
Correct Answer
C. Open the suturesExplanation
After thyroid surgery, it is possible that the patient is experiencing severe dyspnea due to the sutures being too tight or causing compression on the airway. Therefore, the first treatment would be to open the sutures to relieve the pressure and allow for proper airflow. Tracheostomy may be considered if the dyspnea persists or worsens after opening the sutures, but it is not the initial treatment. "Wart & watch" and "Trid thyroidectomy" are not relevant options in this scenario.Rate this question:

- A.
Mobeius sign
- B.
Ven graffe’s sign
- C.
Stellwag’s sign
- D.
Joffory’s sign
Correct Answer
A. Mobeius signExplanation
Mobeius sign refers to the loss of convergence of the eyeball in a patient with thyrotoxicosis. This condition is characterized by the inability of the eyes to move inward or converge towards each other, leading to a fixed or divergent gaze. It is caused by the overstimulation of the extraocular muscles due to excessive thyroid hormone levels. This sign is named after Paul Julius Mobius, a German neurologist who first described it. Ven graffe's sign, Stellwag's sign, and Joffory's sign are not associated with the loss of convergence in thyrotoxicosis.Rate this question:

Hashimoto’s disease. True is
- A.
Infiltrating fibrosis of thyroid gland
- B.
Initially hyperthyroid then hypothyroid
- C.
Untially hyperthyroid then ewchyroic
- D.
Never hyperthyroid
Correct Answer
B. Initially hyperthyroid then hypothyroidExplanation
The correct answer is "Initially hyperthyroid then hypothyroid." Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation and damage to the thyroid gland. In the early stages of the disease, the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid, leading to an overproduction of thyroid hormones, resulting in hyperthyroidism. However, as the disease progresses, the thyroid gland becomes damaged and is unable to produce enough hormones, leading to hypothyroidism. Thus, the correct answer states the correct sequence of thyroid function changes in Hashimoto's disease.Rate this question:

25-year old lactating mother with 4 days of painful swelling in it breast with cellulitis, localized, fluctuation, treatment of choice would be
- A.
Analgesics & antibiotics
- B.
Hot compression with antibiotics
- C.
Incision & drainage
- D.
Reassurance with breast emptying
Correct Answer
C. Incision & drainageExplanation
In this case, the lactating mother has a painful swelling in her breast with cellulitis, which indicates an infection. The presence of localized fluctuation suggests the formation of an abscess. Incision and drainage is the treatment of choice for abscesses, as it allows for the removal of pus and promotes healing. Analgesics and antibiotics alone may not be sufficient to treat the abscess. Hot compression with antibiotics may help with pain relief and control the infection to some extent, but it may not completely resolve the abscess. Reassurance with breast emptying alone would not be enough to treat the abscess.Rate this question:

- A.
USG breast
- B.
FNAC
- C.
Mammography
- D.
Core biopsy
Correct Answer
B. FNACExplanation
The first investigation to be done in this case is FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology). FNAC is a minimally invasive procedure in which a thin needle is used to extract cells from the lump in the breast. These cells are then examined under a microscope to determine if they are cancerous or benign. FNAC is often the initial diagnostic test for breast lumps as it is quick, relatively painless, and provides valuable information about the nature of the lump. It helps in determining whether further tests like mammography or core biopsy are required.Rate this question:

Most important prognostic factor in Ca breast is
- A.
Tumor size
- B.
Erpr status
- C.
Axillary lympoh node status
- D.
Histological type of tumour
Correct Answer
C. Axillary lympoh node statusExplanation
The most important prognostic factor in breast cancer is the axillary lymph node status. The presence of cancer cells in the lymph nodes indicates that the cancer has spread beyond the breast, increasing the risk of recurrence and metastasis. Therefore, the axillary lymph node status is crucial in determining the stage of the cancer and guiding treatment decisions. Tumor size, ER/PR status, and histological type of the tumor are also important factors, but the involvement of the lymph nodes has a stronger impact on prognosis.Rate this question:

The initial treatment in above pt will be
- A.
MRM
- B.
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy
- C.
Radiotherapy
- D.
Palliative hormonal therapy
Correct Answer
B. Neoadjuvant chemotherapyExplanation
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is the initial treatment in the given patient. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy refers to the administration of chemotherapy before the main treatment, such as surgery or radiation therapy. It is commonly used in cancer treatment to shrink tumors before they are surgically removed or to make other treatments more effective. In this case, neoadjuvant chemotherapy would be the first step in the treatment plan to reduce the size of the tumor before considering other options like surgery or radiotherapy.Rate this question:

Most common finding of ca breast in mammography is
- A.
Microcalcification
- B.
Spiculated mass
- C.
Stellate lesion
- D.
Nipple retraction
Correct Answer
B. Spiculated massExplanation
A spiculated mass is a common finding of breast cancer in mammography. It refers to a mass with irregular, spiky projections that extend outward from the main mass. This appearance is often indicative of an aggressive and invasive tumor, as the spiculations represent the tumor infiltrating and distorting the surrounding tissue. The presence of a spiculated mass in mammography is concerning and may require further diagnostic tests, such as a biopsy, to determine if it is cancerous.Rate this question:

Risk of ca breast is associated with
- A.
Sclerosing adenosis
- B.
Breast cysts
- C.
Duct ectasia
- D.
Papilloma with a fibrovascular core
Correct Answer
D. Papilloma with a fibrovascular coreExplanation
Papilloma with a fibrovascular core is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Papillomas are benign tumors that develop in the breast ducts, and the presence of a fibrovascular core indicates a higher likelihood of malignancy. While sclerosing adenosis, breast cysts, and duct ectasia are also benign breast conditions, they do not carry the same level of risk for developing breast cancer as papilloma with a fibrovascular core.Rate this question:
