Abstract

Context .- Thyroid carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of endocrine organs, yet it only accounts for approximately 1% of all cancers in the United States with more than 35 000 new cases diagnosed each year and more than 450 000 people living with this disease. While most tumors can be diagnosed without much difficulty, a few tumor types, especially tumors with follicular pattern, sometimes pose a diagnostic challenge. Objective .- To discuss morphologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of thyroid tumors. We also explore the clinicopathologic features of papillary microcarcinoma and medullary microcarcinoma and how the latter is related and differentiated from C-cell hyperplasia. Finally with the ever-growing list of organ systems involved in immunoglobulin (Ig) G4-related diseases, we discuss the still not completely explored IgG-4-related thyroid disease. Data Sources .- Data were obtained from review of the pertinent peer-reviewed literature and institutional experience. Conclusions .- Histomorphologic evaluation still remains the gold standard for diagnosis in most cases of thyroid diseases. The application of ancillary studies such as immunohistochemistry and molecular diagnosis, including next-generation sequencing, is becoming more common.

摘要

前言:甲状腺癌是内分泌器官中最常见的恶性肿瘤,在美国甲状腺癌仅约占所有恶性肿瘤的1%,每年新发病例35000例以上,超过450000例带病生存。大多数肿瘤可以轻易确诊,然而少数几种肿瘤、尤其是滤泡型肿瘤,有时具有诊断上的挑战。

目的:讨论甲状腺肿瘤的形态学特征、免疫组织化学特征和分子特征。我们也探讨微小乳头状癌和微小髓样癌的临床病理特征,同时探讨后者与C细胞增生间的关系以及二者的鉴别。最后,在越来越多的IgG4相关疾病的器官里,我们讨论仍未完全了解的IgG-4有关的甲状腺疾病。

数据源:数据来自综述文献和相关机构的经验。

结论:在大多数甲状腺病例中,组织学评估仍然是诊断金标准。辅助研究,比如免疫组织化学、分子诊断,包括二代测序的应用将更加普遍。
