A pseudoinclusion in papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Nuclear pseudoinclusions are cytoplasmic invaginations into the nucleus that mimic true nuclear inclusion.
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.
