Case 4: Female 42 – right thyroid nodule • MICROSCOPIC • The thyroid contains an encapsulated follicular nodule. The follicular licular structures vary in size and there appears to be central cystic degeneration within the nodule. The cells are predominantly low cuboidal with round nuclei containing small inconspicuous nucleoli. Nuclear crowding and overlapping are not prominent. Nuclear clearing and nuclear grooves oves are not evident. Golden brown pigment is present in some of the follicular epithelial cells. The fibrous capsule varies in thickness and in one area there is extension of follicular structures tures into the capsule but not beyond. However in another area there is a finger-like projections of thyroid follicles which extends beyond the contours of the capsule into the surrounding thyroid. There still appears to be a small rim of fibrous tissue surrounding this extension. However the appearance is consistent with capsular invasion. Vascular invasion is unable to be identified. ified. • Comment • The presence of capsular invasion indicates that this is a minimally invasive follicular carcinoma. Examination of the remaining capsule of the follicular nodule and d further levels of the area of capsular invasion will be examined to determine if there is more extensive invasion into the surrounding thyroid gland. • SUMMARY • Thyroid: Minimally invasive follicular carcinoma.
