Hürthle cell neoplasm is a rare tumour of the thyroid gland that can have a benign or malignant behaviour. They are generally considered a subset of follicular neoplasm,[1][2] which includes follicular thyroid carcinoma and follicular thyroid adenoma.

It may be referred to as oncocytic neoplasm.

Hürthle cell carcinoma and Hürthle cell adenoma redirect to here.

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.[3]
  • It can be understood as a special type of follicular neoplasm (including follicular thyroid adenoma and follicular thyroid carcinoma).[4]
  • High stage HCC has a poor prognosis.[5]

Adenoma versus carcinoma

Suggestive for carcinoma:[3]

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

Definite for carcinoma:[3]

Risk of malignancy by tumour size

Risk of malignancy by size - based on a series of 57 cases:[6]

Size Percentage
malignant
<=1 cm 17%
1-4 cm 23%
>4 cm 65%

Gross

  • Yellow.
  • Encapsulated.

Microscopic

Features:[4]

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

Negatives:

DDx:[7]

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

Images

  • HCC - intermed. mag. (WC)

  • HCC - high mag. (WC)

  • HCC - very high mag. (WC)

  • HCC - very high mag. (WC)

IHC

Features:

  • TTF-1 +ve (2 of 6 cases in Bejarno et al.,[8] or 6 of 6 cases in Choi et al.[9]).
  • Thyroglobulin (6 of 6 cases[8]).
  • CK7 (4 of 6 cases[8]).
  • HBME-1 +ve (focal in 4 of 6 cases[9]).
  • HCK -ve (6 of 6 cases[9]).
  • CK19 +ve (focal in 4 of 6 cases[9]).
