what” the thyroid pathology ?
Thyroid microscopy ; describe an diagnose
Multinodular thyroid goiter Gross picture ; describde
Cross-section of a thyroid gland with multinodular goiter. Secondary changes such as hemorrhage and cystic degeneration can be seen. Some of the nodules (»_space; ) are surrounded by an intact capsule.
Pathological Thyroid microscopy ; define the abnormalities and diagnose
Pathological Thyroid microscopy ; define the abnormalities and diagnose
Multinodular goiter Clinical presentation ?
• Markedly enlarged goiter
• Compression on trachea, esophagus (leading to dysphasia, stridor)
• Hyperfunction of thyroid gland (toxic multinodular goiter) with suppressed TSH +/- elevated free T4 or T3
histological picture of Embryonal adenoma ?
closely packed cells forming cords or trabeculae
histological picture of Fetal adenoma ?
small follicles containing no or little colloid separated by abundant loose connective tissue
histological picture of Simple adenoma ?
shows closely packed follicles of normal size
histological picture of Colloid adenoma ?
large follicles filled with colloid and lined by flat epithelium
histological picture of Hürthle cell adenoma ?
shows large granular cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm arranged in trabecular pattern
Hashimoto’s disease
Signs & symptoms
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is suspected
What are the tests needed?
Gross picture indicating thyroid pathology ; describe and diagnose
Thyroid microscopy ; identify symbols and diagnose + descibe
Immunofluorescent of thyroid ; Diagnose
Papillary thyroid carcinoma gender preferance ?
Women > men (2.5:1)
Papillary thyroid carcinoma age prevalance ?
Peak incidence: 30-50y
genes Associated with Papillary thyroid carcinoma ?
Thyroid microscopy ; identify the charecteristic structure and diagno
What are the characteristic nuclear features seen in the epithelial cells of a papillary carcinoma?
Thyroid microscopy ; identify the charecteristic structure and diagno
Thyroid microscopy ; describe and diagnose the pathology
Micro-papillary carcinoma
A thyroid carcinoma With Relatively benign course ?
A thyroid carcinoma Associated with iodine deficiency ?
Follicular thyroid carcinoma
Peak age incidence of Follicular thyroid carcinoma ?
40-60y
How does Follicular thyroid carcinoma present ?
Presents as enlarging solitary nodule or in the context of MNG
Descrive metastatic activity of Follicular thyroid carcinoma
Spread via bloodstream (metastasis in 50%)
Survival rate of Follicular thyroid carcinoma ?
Survival rate about 80% at 10 years, and decreasing according to the stage (50% for stage four)
How to differentiate Follicular carcinoma than follicular adenoma Microscopicaly ?
Follicular carcinoma
Follicular carcinoma
The ablation is conducted as a follow-up treatment following Thyroidectomy
Medullary Carcinoma Microscopic picture ?
Thyroid microscopy ; describe and diagnose
Medullary carcinoma :
• Malignant cells may be round, polyhedral or spindle shaped
• Cells may form follicles, pseudo- papillary pattern or are arranged in sheets
• A homogenous pink, amyloid containing stroma is noted
• It can be visualized by Congo red stain
Calcitonin
above 60y
Thyroid microscopy ; identify symbols and diagnose + descibe
a type of hyroid imaging ; identify it
Explain how Thyroid scintigraphy works
Goal of thyroid Fine needle aspiration (FNA) ?
• To diagnose thyroid neoplasms suitable for surgical resection
• To identify non- neoplastic lesions that may be managed conservatively
The cytodiagnosis of thyroid nodules by FNA is complex.
WHY?
a. Overlap of cytologic patterns between neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions
b. Overlap of cytologic features between various neoplasms
c. Coexistence of non-neoplastic and neoplastic processes
