 Patología del Tiroides

• Inflamaciones
• Hiperplasias (Bocios)
• Tumores Benignos
• Tumores Malignos
 Inflamaciones del Tiroides

• Inflamaciones no específicas
• Granulomatosa (Quervain)
• Linfocítica (Hashimoto)
• Fibrosa (Riedel)
 Hiperplasias de Tiroides

• Hiperplasia (Bocio) Nodular

• Hiperplasia (Bocio) Difusa
(Graves – Basedow)
 Tumors de Tiroide
(tipus històlogics)

• Adenoma fol.licular
• Tumor (adenoma) trabecular
hialinitzant
Cancer de Tiroide (tipus històlogic)

• Carcinoma papil·lar
• Carcinoma fol·licular
• Carcinoma pobrement diferenciat
• Carcinoma indiferenciat (anaplàsic)
• Carcinoma medul·lar
 Papillary Carcinoma
(Definition)

A malignant epithelial tumour showing

evidence of follicular cell differentiation
and characterized by distinctive nuclear
features
 Carcinoma Papilar de Tiroides

• Cualquier edad
• Poco agresivo
• El más frecuente (especuialmente en
zonas no bociógenas
• Diseminación por vía linfática
 Carcinoma Papilar de Tiroides
(Pronóstico)

• Edad
• Tamaño
• Invasión extratiroidea
• Metástasis a distancia
 Papillary Carcinoma
(variants)
• Follicular variant
• Macrofollicular variant
• Oncocytic variant
• Clear cell variant
• Diffuse sclerosing variant
• Tall cell variant
• Columnar cell variant
 Papillary Carcinoma
(size variation)

• The term Microcarcinoma should be used for a

papillary carcinoma , which is incidentally found,
and measures 1 cm or less.
 Papillary Carcinoma
(Genetics)

• RET/PTC
• TRK
• RAS
• BRAF
 Papillary Carcinoma
(Genetics)
• RET/PTC1 60-70%
• RET/PTC2 < 10%
• RET/PTC3-4 20-30%
• RET/PTC5 rare
• RET/PTC6 rare
• RET/PTC7 rare
• RET/ELKS rare
• RET/KTN1 rare
• RET/RFG8 rare
• RET/PCM-1 rare
 Follicular Carcinoma
(Definition)

A malignant epithelial tumour showing

evidence of follicular cell differentiation,
lacking the diagnostic nuclear features of
papillary carcinoma
 Follicular Carcinoma
(variants)

• Oncocytic variant (Hürthle cell Tumors)

• Clear cell variant
 Poorly differentiated Carcinoma
(Definition)
Follicular-cell neoplasms that show limited evidence of
structural follicular cell differentiation and occupy
both morphologically and behaviourally an
intermediate position between the well differentiated
follicular and papillary carcinomas and the
undifferentiated carcinomas
 Poorly differentiated Carcinoma
(Histopathology)
• Three patterns (insular, trabecular, solid)
• Infiltrative pattern of growth, necrosis and
obvious vascular invasion
• Prognostic significance of minor component
is unknown
Undifferentiated (Anaplastic)
Carcinoma
(Definition)
Highly malignant tumours that by standard
light microscopy appear wholly or partially
composed of undifferentiated cells that
exhibit immunohistochemical or
ultrastructural features indicating epithelial
differentiation
 Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma
(Definition)

A malignant tumour of the thyroid gland

showing C-cell differentiation and lacking
follicular differentiation.
