Thyroid-like follicular carcinoma of the kidney is an exceedingly rare neoplasm. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature. This tumor often presents with no specific symptoms and is frequently discovered incidentally during imaging studies. Diagnosis relies primarily on histological examination and the exclusion of thyroid markers.
We present the case of a male patient who presented with flank pain and hematuria. A right renal mass was identified and subsequently underwent complete surgical resection. Histological analysis of the mass revealed Thyroid-like follicular carcinoma.
Despite its rarity, thyroid-like follicular carcinoma of the kidney should be considered in the differential diagnosis of renal lesions.
The low-grade malignancy and low metastatic potential associated with this tumor are encouraging factors. Further studies are necessary to better understand the pathogenesis of this rare neoplasm. Such knowledge is crucial for improving patient outcomes and investigating potential associations with conditions like hypertension.
肾甲状腺样滤泡癌是一种极其罕见的肿瘤。文献中仅报道了少数病例。该肿瘤通常无特异性症状，常在影像学检查时偶然发现。诊断主要依靠组织学检查并排除甲状腺标志物。
我们报告一例男性患者，其表现为胁腹痛和血尿。发现右肾肿物，随后进行了完整的手术切除。肿物的组织学分析显示为甲状腺样滤泡癌。
尽管肾甲状腺样滤泡癌罕见，但在肾病变的鉴别诊断中应予以考虑。
该肿瘤的低恶性程度和低转移潜能是令人鼓舞的因素。需要进一步研究以更好地理解这种罕见肿瘤的发病机制。此类知识对于改善患者预后以及研究与高血压等疾病的潜在关联至关重要。
