Thyroid-like cholangiocarcinoma of the liver: an unusual morphologic variant with follicular, trabecular and insular patterns.
We report the case of a 26-year-old woman with a 19 cm malignant hepatic neoplasm with morphological features that closely resembled a follicular thyroid carcinoma.

متن کاملFollicular thyroid carcinoma with an unusual glomeruloid pattern of growth.
We describe an uncommon thyroid tumor in a 56-year-old woman. The widely infiltrating, angioinvasive neoplasm, 5 cm in diameter, exhibited a peculiar architectural growth pattern characterized by follicles with round to oval epithelial tufts growing within, often supported by a fibrovascular core mimicking the renal glomerulus. Colloid-empty follicles, tubular or elongated, were lined by pseudo...
