Molecular basis off hurthle cell papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Among thyroid neoplasms, Hurthle cell tumors (HCTs) have traditionally been a distinct diagnostic category. Hurthle cell adenomas are encapsulated follicular lesions with benign behavior. Hurthle cell carcinomas exhibit unequivocal capsular and/or vascular invasion; they are aggressive tumors with a poor prognosis. Recently, Hurthle cell papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs) have been identified ...
متن کاملMetastatic Hurthle Cell Carcinoma of the thyroid presenting as a Breast Lump: A Case Report
BACKGROUND Hurthle cell carcinoma of the thyroid is a rare form of thyroid cancer. It may present as a low grade tumour or can present as a more aggressive metastatic carcinoma. Hurthle cell carcinoma has the highest incidence of metastasis among all differentiated thyroid cancers. Most commonly haematogenous spread to lungs, bones and brain, however spread to regional lymph nodes is not uncomm...
متن کاملIssues in Managing Hurthle Cell Carcinoma of Thyroid: A Case Report
A 61-year-old woman noticed a right neck lump in October 2001. Fine needle aspiration showed follicular neoplasm, adenoma versus carcinoma. The ultrasound scan showed a solid mass of maximum dimension of 3.7 cm. She had a right thyroid lobectomy and isthmectomy in January 2002 (first surgery). The tissue specimen showed a 4.5 cm Hurthle cell carcinoma (HCC) with vascular invasion. There were no...
متن کاملFunctional polymorphisms in antioxidant genes in Hurthle cell thyroid neoplasm - an association of GPX1 polymorphism and recurrent Hurthle cell thyroid carcinoma
BACKGROUND Hurthle cells of the thyroid gland are very rich in mitochondria and oxidative enzymes. As a high level oxidative metabolism may lead to higher level of oxidative stress and can be associated with an increased risk for cancer, we investigated whether common functional polymorphisms in antioxidant genes (SOD2, CAT, GPX, GSTP1, GSTM1 and GSTT1) are associated with the development or cl...
متن کاملPredictors of Thyroid Gland Invasion in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Introduction: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) can invade the thyroid gland leading to unnecessary thyroidectomies with subsequent hypothyroidism and hyperparathyroidism. Thus, clinicopathological variables should be defined in order to predict thyroid gland invasion preoperatively. Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 1,465 patients with laryngeal SCC referr...
