    Impact of Patient Age and Histological Type on Radioactive Iodine Avidity of Recurrent Lesions of Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma.
    Clin Nucl Med 2018 Apr 23. Epub 2018 Apr 23.
    Background: Age is a prognostic factor for recurrent differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) and may be related to radioactive iodine (RAI) nonavidity. Indications for molecular-targeted drugs (MTDs) are currently limited to RAI-refractory DTC. Demonstrating refractoriness to RAI, mainly indicated by RAI nonavidity, may be a barrier to the introduction of MTDs for elderly patients. Read More

    Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Istanbul University, Vezneciler, Istanbul, Turkey.
    Altered or aberrant glycosylation is a common phenomenon in cancer cells and it originates from changes in the expression of the enzymes, glycosyltransferase, and glycosidase which up-regulate in response to some oncogenes in the glycan synthesis pathway. In this present study, it has been aimed to determine the alteration of sialic acid and fucose expressions in the cell surface of human thyroid carcinoma cells and investigate the changes in tumorigenic and malignant characters after treating them with specific plant lectins. Our study showed that the cell surface glycan chains of anaplastic 8305C, follicular FTC-133, and papillary K1 thyroid carcinoma cells were rich in α-2,6, α-2,3, sialic acid, and α-1,6 fucose residues.

One controversial issue, which is currently not understood, is whether both tumor types represent different molecular entities or rather a biological continuum. Read More

    Department of Pathology, Ondokuz Mayis University School of Medicine, Samsun, Turkey.
    Background: Thyroid nodules diagnosed as Bethesda category IV [follicular neoplasm/suspicious for follicular neoplasm (FN/SFN)] are recommended for surgery. However, only 10%-40% of these nodules turn out to be malignant on histopathological examination. Therefore, selection for surgery of nodules diagnosed as Bethesda category IV is important. Read More

    Department of Endocrinology, Faculty of Medicine, Akdeniz University, Antalya, Turkey.
    Metastases to the bone are the most common malignant bone tumors. Prostate, breast, and lung carcinomas are the most common primaries of bone metastases. Bone metastases show poor prognosis in means of median survival; however, some patients with highly curable tumors such as thyroid carcinoma may benefit from treatment. Read More

    Ubiquitin Immunostaining in Thyroid Neoplasms Marks True Intranuclear Cytoplasmic Pseudoinclusions and May Help Differentiate Papillary Carcinoma from NIFTP.
    Head Neck Pathol 2018 Mar 6. Epub 2018 Mar 6.
    Department of Pathology, The University of Chicago Medical Center, 5841 S. Maryland Avenue, Chicago, IL, 60637, USA.
    Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is defined by an invasive growth pattern and classic nuclear features: enlarged, grooved, overlapping nuclei with chromatin clearing and intranuclear cytoplasmic pseudoinclusions (INCP). True INCPs are characteristic of PTC, but may infrequently be seen in noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasms with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP). Nuclear abnormalities that mimic INCP ("pseudo-pseudoinclusions") are common in a variety of thyroid lesions. Read More

    Departments of Internal Medicine, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
    Objective: Distinguishing malignancy from benign thyroid nodule has always been challenging, especially in follicular lesions. Thyroid nodules with small size and indeterminate cytology do not lead to immediate surgery. We tried to evaluate whether tumour size and tumour growth rate can distinguish follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) from follicular adenoma (FA). Read More

    Identification of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma in FNA specimens using thyroid peroxidase immunohistochemistry.
    Cytopathology 2018 Mar 6. Epub 2018 Mar 6.
    Histopathology Department, Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology, Brisbane, Qld, Australia.
    Introduction: We evaluated immunohistochemical staining for thyroid peroxidase (TPO), a glycoprotein found in the apical plasma membrane of thyroid follicular cells, as a marker for metastatic PTC in FNA samples and compared results with thyroglobulin (Tg) and thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF1) staining.

    Methods: Cell block sections prepared from 100 FNA specimens were stained with a rabbit monoclonal antibody to TPO (EP159). The FNAs included 64 metastatic malignancies from non-thyroid primary sites, including 18 lung, and 36 cases of thyroid tumours (29 PTC, six cases of medullary thyroid carcinoma and one thyroid anaplastic carcinoma).

    An International Interobserver Variability Reporting of the Nuclear Scoring Criteria to Diagnose Noninvasive Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm with Papillary-Like Nuclear Features: a Validation Study.
    Endocr Pathol 2018 Mar 6. Epub 2018 Mar 6.
    Department of Pathology, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
    The aim of the study was to assess interobserver variation in reporting nuclear features of encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma, newly reclassified as noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP), based on a proposed standardized scoring system. An education module was individually reviewed as a pre-evaluation teaching guide of the specific features of classical papillary carcinoma, the specific inclusion and exclusion features for the diagnosis of NIFTP, and a catalog of the standardized scoring system of the nuclear features of papillary carcinoma used to reach this diagnosis. Participants subsequently reviewed 30 cases of thyroid lesions previously scored by members of the Endocrine Pathology Society Working Group for the Re-evaluation of the Encapsulated Follicular Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.
