SURGERY
Question 1 : A 28-year-old man presents with a 2.5-cm mass in the anterior triangle of the left neck. The mass moves with swallowing and has slowly enlarged over the past 1–2 years. The patient’s past medical history is notable for high-dose irradiation to the chest and abdomen for Hodgkin’s lymphoma 8 years prior to presentation. Thyroid scan shows a “cold” lesion. Fine-needle aspiration cytology is “suspicious.” Core-needle biopsy shows features suggestive of a follicular neoplasm. True statements regarding this patient’s condition include
Thyroid nodules in men are rarely malignant
Prior radiation to the chest, if anything, would diminish the risk of subsequent thyroid cancer
In the setting of abnormal cytology, an initial course of TSH suppression by thyroid hormone is recommended
In the setting of a possible follicular neoplasm, radioactive iodine (131I) ablation is recommended
Total thyroidectomy is an acceptable treatment for this patient

PATHOLOGY
Question 1 : A 35-year-old male presents with a 0.3-cm flat light brown lesion on his left forearm. The lesion is excised, and microscopy reveals nests of round nevus cells within the lower epidermis at the dermal-epidermal junction. There is no “fusion” present of adjacent nests of nevus cells. Cytologic atypia is not present, nor are nevus cells seen in the superficial or deep dermis. What is the correct diagnosis for this lesion?
Compound nevus
Dysplastic nevus
Halo nevus
Junctional nevus
Spitz nevus
