Nuclear pseudoinclusions and true nuclear inclusions
True nuclear inclusions consist of material that is:
- Foreign to the nucleus.
- Completely contained within the nucleus.
They are classically caused by viral particles; however, there are other causes.[1]
Tumours with pseudoinclusions
- Papillary thyroid carcinoma.
- Medullary thyroid carcinoma.[2]
- Melanoma.
- Adenocarcinoma of the lung.
- Meningioma.[3][4]
Note:
- The above is not an exhaustive list.
