Noninvasive encapsulated papillary RAS-like thyroid tumor (NEPRAS) or encapsulated papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC)

PAPILLARY THYROID CARCINOMA IN MASHHAD

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy. This study surveys the pathologic characteristics of thyroid cancerin Mashhad and study of papillary carcinoma in more detail. In this retrospective study, 108 out of 197 cases of thyroid cancer were papillary in type (55%), with female to male ratio of 1.91 which is lower than current reports. The age at the time of diagnosis ranged ...

Encapsulated papillary thyroid carcinoma, follicular variant: a misnomer.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has long been diagnosed based on its unique nuclear features (PTC-N); however, significant observer discrepancies have been reported in the diagnosis of encapsulated follicular patterned lesions (EnFPLs), because the threshold of PTC-N is subjective. An equivocal PTC-N may often occur in non-invasive EnFPLs and benign/malignant disagreements often create seriou...

Programmed Death - Ligand 1 Expression Distinguishes Invasive Encapsulated Follicular Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma from Noninvasive Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm with Papillary-like Nuclear Features

BACKGROUND The noninvasive Encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid cancer (EFVPTC) has been reclassified as Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) without a significant risk for malignant behavior. However the evaluation remains a challenge for clinicians. We sought to determine whether programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression may s...

Pheochromocytoma, papillary thyroid carcinoma.

A 53-year-old woman presented with labile and difficult to control hypertension on 3 different anti-hypertensive medications. Abdominal computed tomography and ultrasonography of the thyroid gland showed a 1.8 cm thyroid nodule. Fine needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid nodule revealed papillary thyroid carcinoma. Serum thyroid stimulating hormone and free thyroxine, calcitonin, carcinoembry...
