Suspicious for Hürthle Cell Neoplasm


Mojgan Amrikachi, MD










(A) Diff-Quik stain shows Hürthle cells with granular cytoplasm due to intracytoplasmic accumulation of mitochondria. Nuclei are round and have prominent nucleoli image. (B) Pap stain of a Hürthle cell nodule shows 3D groups of oncocytic cells with microfollicular architecture. Cells have blue-green cytoplasm and eccentric nuclei. (C) Pap stain illustrates Hürthle cells with reactive changes. There is marked size variability and a nuclear pseudoinclusion image, mimicking papillary carcinoma. (D) Diff-Quik stain shows Hürthle cells with small cell dysplasia and large cell dysplasia, suspicious for Hürthle cell neoplasm.
