Functional 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 کاملDoes Hurthle cell lesion/neoplasm predict malignancy more than follicular lesion/neoplasm on thyroid fine-needle aspiration?
Thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a standard procedure for the clinical triage of thyroid nodules. The diagnosis of an adequately sampled thyroid FNA is generally grouped into three categories: benign, malignant, and indeterminate. The latter group usually includes follicular neoplasm, follicular lesion, and sometimes a more specific diagnosis such as Hurthle cell neoplasm or follicular l...
متن کاملHurthle cells in fine needle aspiration cytology of the thyroid: a potential diagnostic dilemma?
Hurthle cells are not uncommonly encountered in thyroid fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) smears. They are easily recognized by their distinct cytomorphology in cytological preparations, i.e. large, polygonal cells displaying uniform, rounded nuclei, often prominent nucleoli and abundant granular cytoplasm. Hurthle cells can be seen in both non-neoplastic and neoplastic thyroid lesions whi...
متن کاملGiant pedunculated esophageal liposarcoma associated with Hurthle cell thyroid neoplasia.
Giant pedunculated liposarcoma of the esophagus is considered a rare entity. They impose difficulties in management, especially the surgical approach. We report a case of giant pedunculated liposarcoma of the esophagus in a 62-year-old male who underwent cervical excision of this large tumor, and made a full recovery. Hurthle cell thyroid cancer was found during the work-up, which was managed a...
متن کاملMolecular 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 ...
