Clear cell carcinomas of the thyroid gland with normal thyroid-stimulating hormone value are very rare, but clear cell changes are described in most reported cases of thyroidal lesions.
In this report, we describe the case of a 50-year-old Caucasian woman with a normal thyroid-stimulating hormone level who underwent surgery to treat a multi-nodular goiter. The pathology was a clear cell variant of follicular thyroid carcinoma. The tumor was 1cm in diameter and consisted of pure clear cells.
Clear cell variants of follicular thyroid carcinoma are rarely seen, especially it is misdiagnosed with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. In this report, we describe the case of a patient with a clear cell variant of follicular thyroid carcinoma with an interesting pathology.
甲状腺刺激激素值正常的甲状腺透明细胞癌非常罕见,但在大多数已报道的甲状腺病变病例中都描述了透明细胞改变。
在本报告中,我们描述了一名50岁白种女性的病例,其甲状腺刺激激素水平正常,因多结节性甲状腺肿接受手术治疗。病理结果为滤泡状甲状腺癌的透明细胞变体。肿瘤直径为1厘米,由纯透明细胞组成。
滤泡状甲状腺癌的透明细胞变体很少见,尤其是易被误诊为转移性肾细胞癌。在本报告中,我们描述了一名患有滤泡状甲状腺癌透明细胞变体且病理情况有趣的患者病例。
