Hürthle cell neoplasm is a rare tumour of the thyroid gland that can have a benign or malignant behaviour.

General

  • Incidence: uncommon.
  • This is a general category - includes:
    • Hürthle cell adenoma.
    • Hürthle cell carcinoma.
  • Some advocate total thyroidectomy for all Hürthle cell neoplasms, as it is difficult to reliably differentiate adenomas and carcinomas.[1]
  • It can be understood as a special type of follicular neoplasm (including follicular thyroid adenoma and follicular thyroid carcinoma).[2]
  • High stage HCC has a poor prognosis.[3]

Adenoma versus carcinoma

Suggestive for carcinoma:[1]

  • Male.
  • >4 cm
    • Adenomas usu. <3 cm.

Definite for carcinoma:[1]

  • Lymphovascular invasion.
  • Capsular invasion.

Gross

  • Yellow.
  • Encapsulated.

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • Oncocytes >= 75% of cells:
    • Abundant granular, eosinophilic cytoplasm.
    • Round regular nucleus +/- prominent nucleolus.
  • +/-Degenerative changes.

Negatives:

DDx:[4]

  • Papillary thyroid carcinoma oncocytic variant.
  • Medullary thyroid carcinoma oncocytic variant.
  • Others.

IHC

Features:

  • TTF-1 +ve (2 of 6 cases in Bejarno et al.,[5] or 6 of 6 cases in Choi et al.[6]).
  • Thyroglobulin (6 of 6 cases[5]).
  • CK7 (4 of 6 cases[5]).
  • HBME-1 +ve (focal in 4 of 6 cases[6]).
  • HCK -ve (6 of 6 cases[6]).
  • CK19 +ve (focal in 4 of 6 cases[6]).
