Abstract

We aimed to present a rare case of hyalinizing trabecular tumor that was of follicular cell origin with a trabecular growth pattern and intratrabecular hyalinization.Thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy was performed in our patient, a 57-year-old woman who was being followed up because of multinodular goiter. On cytological examination, the diagnosis was suspicious due to cells similar to papillary carcinoma cells. She underwent a total thyroidectomy. Macroscopically, besides numerous colloid-rich nodules with diameters ranging from 3 to 7 mm in the right thyroid, a 5 mm wide, well-circumscribed, gray-white colored, solid nodule was seen. Microscopically, the nodule was well circumscribed and had a trabecular growth pattern of elongated and polygonal cells, nuclei with grooves and cytoplasmic pseudoinclusions. Intratrabecular hyalinization was seen focally. Immunohistochemically the tumor was thyroglobulin positive, and calcitonin and HBME-1 negative. It showed strong cell membrane immunoreactivity with MIB-1. The pathological diagnosis was hyalinizing trabecular tumor with histological and immunohistochemical features.Hyalinizing trabecular tumors that may be confused with papillary carcinoma of thyroid or medullary carcinoma usually show benign clinical behavior. The presence of PAS-positive intratrabecular hyalinization and immunohistochemical features and especially strong cell membrane positivity of MIB1 are useful features in the differential diagnosis.

Özet

Tiroidin foliküler hücrelerinden gelişen, trabeküler büyüme paterni ve intratrabeküler hyalinizasyon ile karakterli, nadir görülen hyalinize trabeküler tümör olgusunu literatür bilgileri eşliğinde sunmayı amaçladık.Multinodüler guatr nedeniyle takip edilen 57 yaşında kadın hastaya tiroid ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi uygulandı. Sitolojik incelemede, papiller karsinoma benzer hücrelerin varlığı nedeniyle olgu kuşkulu sitoloji tanısı aldı. Operasyon kararı alınan hastaya total tiroidektomi uygulandı. Tiroid materyalinin makroskopik incelemesinde çapları 3-7 mm arasında değişen kolloidden zengin nodül yapıları yanı sıra sağ lobda 5 mm çapında çevreden düzgün sınırla ayrılmış gribeyaz renkte, solid bir nodül yapısı izlendi. Mikroskopik incelemede, tanımlanan bu nodül, çevre tiroidden düzgün sınırla ayrılmış, belirgin trabeküler patern oluşturmuş, nükleer çentik ve psödoinklüzyon içeren uzamış ve poligonal hücrelerden oluşmaktaydı. İntratrabeküler hyalinizasyon nadir alanlarda dikkati çekti. İmmünhistokimyasal incelemede tümörde tiroglobulin ile pozitif, kalsitonin ve HBME-1 ile negatif sonuç alındı. MIB-1 güçlü membranöz immünreaktivite gösterdi. Histolojik ve immünhistokimyasal bulgularla olguda hyalinize trabeküler tümör tanısına varıldı.Hyalinize trabeküler tümör, tiroidin papiller karsinomu veya medüller karsinomu ile karışabilen genellikle benign klinik gidiş gösteren bir tümördür. Ayırıcı tanıda, intratrabeküler PAS pozitif hyalinizasyon varlığı, immünhistokimyasal bulgular, özellikle de güçlü MIB-1 membranöz pozitifliği yararlı bulgulardır.
