Hürthle Cell Carcinoma

Abstract

The content of this chapter includes a description of Hürthle cell carcinoma, traditionally considered a histopathological variant of follicular carcinoma, yet more recently defined as a separate entity based upon its unique biological behavior, genetic alterations, and differences in prognosis as compared to follicular carcinoma. The most current evidence-based literature and management guidelines from the American Thyroid Association (ATA) and the European perspectives are summarized. This chapter starts with a case study along with a series of multiple-choice questions and answers to further enhance learning.
