Activating mutations of the gene have been described for both papillary (chromosomal rearrangement) and medullary (missense mutations) thyroid carcinomas. Here, we describe a case of a Warthin-like variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma displaying some morphological aspects that mimic the diffuse sclerosing variant. The tumour harboured V600E mutation and a novel germline point mutation in the gene, with unknown clinical and pathological meaning.
已在乳头状(染色体重排)和髓样(错义突变)甲状腺癌中描述了该基因的激活突变。在此,我们描述了一例乳头状甲状腺癌的沃辛样变体病例,其表现出一些模仿弥漫性硬化变体的形态学特征。该肿瘤存在V600E突变以及该基因中的一个新的种系点突变,其临床和病理意义尚不清楚。
