Biography

Dr. Boško Odalović is a distinguished surgeon at the Center for Endocrine Surgery, Clinical Center of Serbia, in Belgrade. His expertise encompasses the surgical management of endocrine disorders, with a particular focus on thyroid and parathyroid diseases. Throughout his career, Dr. Odalović has contributed to significant research in endocrine surgery. Notably, he co-authored a study titled "Improving Intellect with Parathyroidectomy," which evaluated cognitive status in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism before and after surgery. The study found a significant improvement in Mini-Mental State Examination scores six months post-parathyroidectomy, highlighting the positive impact of the procedure on cognitive function. In another study, Dr. Odalović examined the correlation between redox metabolism and cellular turnover in papillary thyroid carcinoma and colloid goiter. This research provided insights into the metabolic profiles of these conditions, contributing to a better understanding of their pathophysiology.

  Background: To present for the first time a clinical case of a patient with giant neglected and exulcerated tall-cell papillary thyroid cancer, who was surgically treated. Methods: We report a case of a 73-year-old woman with large firm infiltrated and exulcerated anterior neck tumefaction (12 cm in diameter) clinically suspected as anaplastic thyroid cancer. Patient had a goiter for more than 20 years with rapid growth in last months, after that presented with infiltration and exulceration of the skin. Results: Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) revealed papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Total thyroidectomy with en-block dissection of the infrahyoid muscles and skin was performed. Lymph node metastasis were not present. Pathologically, goiter and tall-cell papillary carcinoma were present without anaplastic dediff.. View More»
