The ultrastructure of strumal carcinoid tumors at times may reveal a far more complex structure than can be ascertained from light microscopy. It may at times be indistinguishable from medullary carcinoma of the thyroid gland. Both tumors appear to be capable of producing 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid and calcitonin. The common shared biologic and ultrastructural features suggest a common origin, from neuroectodermal cells.
甲状腺类癌肿瘤的超微结构有时可能显示出一种比光镜下所能确定的更为复杂的结构。它有时可能与甲状腺髓样癌难以区分。这两种肿瘤似乎都能够产生5-羟吲哚乙酸和降钙素。共同的生物学和超微结构特征表明它们起源于神经外胚层细胞。
