Thyroid Collision Tumors: The Presence of the Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Component Negatively Influences the Prognosis

Abstract: Thyroid collision tumors (TCTs) are rare pathological findings, representing <1% of thyroid cancers. This study aimed to compare the main pathological features of TCTs containing medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) components with MTC-only tumors and PTC-only tumors. Methods: The retrospective study included 69 cases diagnosed with TCTs (with simultaneous MTC and PTC components), MTC and PTC. All tumors were comparatively assessed for the classical histopathological progn… Show more

“…This malignant tumor develops into four pathological types namely papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). 3 The incidence of PTC accounting for 70 -80% of all thyroid gland malignancy with papillary growth patterns cell, commonly happen. 4 Papillary thyroid carcinoma is an epithelial malignancy with a differentiated follicular cell.…”
