Macrofollicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma: its clinicopathological features and long-term prognosis.
Macrofollicular variant is a rare entity of papillary carcinoma. We previously demonstrated that this variant accounts for 0.3% of papillary carcinoma in Japan. In this study, we investigated the biological characteristics of 5 cases of macrofollicular variant. We reviewed the diagnosis and clinical course of 5 patients with macrofollicular variant. On preoperative ultrasonographic study, 2 cas...
متن کاملDiffuse sclerosing variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma: a clinicopathologic and immunophenotypic analysis of 22 cases.
BACKGROUND The diffuse sclerosing variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (DSV-PTC) is an uncommon tumor making up about 2% of all papillary thyroid carcinomas. Previous studies have not comprehensively evaluated these tumors in a large series of patients. DESIGN Twenty-two cases of DSV-PTC diagnosed between 1970 and 2000 were identified in the files of the AFIP. Histologic and immunohistochem...
متن کاملClinicopathological features of recurrent papillary thyroid cancer
BACKGROUND To investigate the clinicopathological features of recurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). METHODS A retrospective analysis on clinical and pathological data of 34 patients with recurrent PTC was carried out. A total of 281 patients with non-recurrent PTC during the same time period were chosen as the control group. RESULTS Patients were divided into three groups according t...
متن کاملTall cell variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma: current evidence on clinicopathologic features and molecular biology
Tall cell variant (TCV) of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has been recognized for the past few decades as an entity showing aggressive biological behavior; however, there is considerable controversy regarding the definition, clinical and pathological features of TCV because of its rarity and difficult diagnosis. No clinical features can accurately diagnose TCV. Thus, the results of histocyto...
متن کاملDiffuse Sclerosing Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma with Concomitant Thyrotoxicosis: A Case Report and Literature Review
Diffuse sclerosing variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (DSVPC) is a rare variant of conventional papillary thyroid carcinoma which was first reported in 1985. It appears to be more aggressive than conventional type of papillary thyroid carcinoma. We present a case in a 14-year-old girl who initially presented with thyrotoxicosis and was later diagnosed with DSVPC on subsequent ultrasound and...
