Thyroid: proliferative lesions in perinatal necropsies

Abstract

Atypical thyroid lesions have been found in a routine study of perinatal necropsies. This type of lesions means Thyroid carcinoma which is suppose result of changes in the DNA along the years. In the perinatal product, DNA changes may occur during the fecundation or abnormal DNA is transmitted by one of the parents. So families should be studied. Identification of DNA changes will prove the importance of the perinatal necropsy in the family health.
