Thyroid Gland Oncocytic Follicular Carcinoma

Back to Diseases List

Overview

NCI Definition: A follicular carcinoma of the thyroid gland, characterized by the presence of large cells with eosinophilic granular cytoplasm and pleomorphic nuclei with prominent, eosinophilic nucleoli. The nuclear features that characterize the papillary carcinomas of the thyroid gland are absent. [1]

Thyroid gland oncocytic follicular carcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, PTEN, NF1, TBX3, and KMT2D [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Thyroid Gland Oncocytic Follicular Carcinoma

TP53 Mutation, PTEN Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Missense, and TP53 Exon 8 Mutation are the most common alterations in thyroid gland oncocytic follicular carcinoma [2].
