The light microscopic and ultrastructural features of a Hürthle-cell tumor arising in the ectopic mediastinal ectopic thyroid and diagnosed by fine needle aspiration are presented. Although it lacked clear-cut cytologic features of malignancy, the tumor was clinically malignant, having metastasized to the lungs. Hürthle-cell tumors of the thyroid are unpredictable in their biologic behavior, and the absence of clinical and/or pathologic evidence of malignancy at the time of diagnosis is no guarantee of a benign outcome.
本文介绍了一例起源于异位纵隔甲状腺的许特莱细胞肿瘤的光镜和超微结构特征，该肿瘤经细针穿刺确诊。尽管其缺乏明确的恶性细胞学特征，但该肿瘤临床具有恶性特征，已转移至肺部。甲状腺许特莱细胞肿瘤的生物学行为难以预测，诊断时缺乏临床和/或病理恶性证据并不能保证其预后良好。
