Hurthle cell thyroid cancer is often considered a variant of follicular cell carcinoma. [3] [4] Hurthle cell forms are more likely than follicular carcinomas to be bilateral and multifocal and to metastasize to lymph nodes. Like follicular carcinoma, unilateral hemithyroidectomy is performed for non-invasive disease, and total thyroidectomy for ...
While Hurthle cells can occur in healthy thyroid glands, [1] they are often associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis [4] and Graves' disease. [2] Hürthle cell neoplasms can be separated into Hürthle cell adenomas (benign tumours) and carcinomas (malignant tumours) [5] arising from the follicular epithelium of the thyroid gland. [6]
Relative incidences of malignant thyroid tumors, with Hürthle cell carcinoma near top right. Hürthle cell neoplasm is a rare tumor of the thyroid, typically seen in women between the ages of 70 and 80 years old. When benign, it is called a Hürthle cell adenoma, and when malignant it is called a Hürthle cell carcinoma. Hürthle cell adenoma ...
Hyalinizing trabecular tumor (d–f) is composed of trabeculae of elongated or polygonal cells admixed with abundant amounts of hyaline material negative for amyloid and positive for type IV collagen (f); Ki-67 is characteristically expressed in the cell membrane but not in the nuclei of the tumor cells (e). Follicular adenoma with signet ring ...
A follicular variant of papillary thyroid cancer also exists. [36] Newly reclassified variant: noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features is considered an indolent tumor of limited biologic potential. Follicular thyroid cancer (10 to 20% of cases [35]) – occasionally seen in people with Cowden syndrome.
Histopathology of NIFTP, H&E stain. [1]Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) is an indolent thyroid tumor that was previously classified as an encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma, [2] necessitating a new classification as it was recognized that encapsulated tumors without invasion have an indolent behavior, [2] and may ...
The encapsulated-follicular variant, specifically when noninvasive, has been newly reclassified as the noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features. [ 19 ] Although papillary carcinoma has a propensity to invade lymphatics , it is less likely to invade blood vessels . [ 20 ]
May progress to follicular lymphoma or mantle cell lymphoma; may be associated with the development of certain other lymphoid malignancies: Duration: Chronic: Types: In situ follicular lymphoma; in situ mantle cell lymphoma: Treatment: Follow-up tests for the development of follicular or mantle cell lymphoma, or other lymphoid malignancies
