THYROID FOLLICULAR ADENOMA: BENIGN OR MALIGNANT?
Four patients are described in whom a follicular carcinoma developed following thyroidectomy for a benign follicular neoplasm. It is possible that the initial thyroid neoplasm was a well- differentiated follicular carcinoma which was microscopically indistinguishable from a benign adenoma. Realizing this pathologic pitfall in thyroid diagnosis, the need for meticulous examination of the pa...
متن کاملBetter Understanding in the Differentiation of Thyroid Follicular Adenoma, Follicular Carcinoma, and Follicular Variant of Papillary Carcinoma: A Retrospective Study
Background. To evaluate the role of ultrasonography (US), US-guided fine-needle aspiration (USFNA) and intraoperative frozen section (FS) in follicular neoplasm. Methods. US features, USFNA cytology, and FS results were compared based on the pathology results of patients with follicular adenoma (FA), follicular carcinoma (FC), and follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (FVPTC). Resul...
متن کاملComputed Tomography Features of Follicular Thyroid Adenoma and Carcinoma
Background: No previous study has investigated the computed tomography (CT) characteristics of follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA) and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC). This study aimed to compare the CT features of FTA and FTC. Methods: Eighty-seven consecutive patients with FTA or FTC that underwent preoperative neck CT from January 2006 to December 2013 were included. In each case, single rad...
متن کاملSolitary skull metastasis from follicular thyroid carcinoma: a case report
Introduction: Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is the second most common malignant form of thyroid cancers. FTC is more common in women with a peak incidence in the fifth and sixth decades of life. Invasion into blood vessels may lead to distant metastasis to bone, lung, liver or elsewhere. FTC rarely manifests itself as a distant metastatic lesion, especially as solitary metastasis. Case r...
متن کاملUsefulness of galectin-3 immunohistochemistry in differential diagnosis between thyroid follicular carcinoma and follicular adenoma.
Galectin-3 was primarily reported to be a marker distinguishing thyroid adenomas and carcinomas. To check the usefulness of anti-galectin-3 immunohistochemistry, we studied its expression in 42 follicular adenomas and 42 follicular carcinomas. Eight cases out of 42 follicular adenomas (19%) presented focal or diffuse galectin-3 immunoexpression. From 42 cases of follicular carcinomas, six cases...
