A case of follicular thyroid carcinoma with bizarre nuclei and discussion of atypia in thyroid gland disease
The presence of nuclear atypia is a potential pitfall in thyroid pathology with several causes ranging from benign disease to aggressive malignant neoplasms. Here we present a case of follicular thyroid carcinoma with bizarre nuclear atypia. Assessment of the type and location of the nuclear atypia as well as select molecular testing aided in diagnosis of this case, excluding other entities such as dyshormonogenetic goitre, papillary thyroid carcinoma, anaplastic thyroid carcinoma and DICER1 mutated follicular thyroid carcinoma (a recently described entity in the literature). An awareness of the diverse nuclear features and the causes of nuclear atypia in thyroid disease can prevent misinterpretation of this feature reducing the risk of overdiagnosis of malignancy in tissue and cytology specimens.
期刊介绍:
This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances. Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and advances in technology. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. An additional feature is the short section devoted to hypotheses; these have been refereed. There is also a correspondence section.
