Comparison of Clinical and Ultrasonographic Features of Poorly Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma and Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
BACKGROUND The clinical behavior and management of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) are very different from papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). By comparing the clinical and ultrasonographic features between the two tumors, we proposed to provide more possibilities for recognizing PDTC before treatment. METHODS The data of 13 PDTCs and 39 age- and gender-matched PTCs in Peking Un...
متن کاملPoorly Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma: An Incubating Entity
as the fifth most expected malignancy in American women. Although thyroid cancer is not infrequently diagnosed, it rarely bests its host. We understand a great deal about well-differentiated thyroid cancers, including carcinomas of the thyrocyte and parafollicular c-cells. We have identified a number of mutations and gene rearrangements responsible for familial and sporadic tumors. We have post...

The article reviews the controversial area of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Consensus criteria that define poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma have been published in 2007. According to these, poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma is a distinct histotype and the term "poorly differentiated" should not be used as a synonym for high-grade thyroid cancer. Data in the literature sho...
متن کاملPoorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma: a retrospective clinicopathological study
Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) is an independent thyroid cancer histotype. In spite of its scarcity, it represents the main cause of death from non-anaplastic follicular cell-derived thyroid cancer. However, given the newness of this entity, few data are available on its clinical behaviour and no explicit consensus sets its treatment. To report the experience of a tertiary medic...
متن کاملPoorly Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma Arising in Struma Ovarii
Struma ovarii is an uncommon type of ovarian mature teratoma with a predominant thyroid component. The morphological spectrum of the thyroid tissue ranges from that of normal thyroid to proliferative adenoma-like lesions and thyroid-type carcinomas (malignant transformation). The histologic features of ovarian strumal lesions sometimes cause diagnostic problems due to the confusion with other t...
