A case study highlights hyalinizing trabecular adenoma, a rare thyroid tumor. Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis, differentiating it from suspected medullary carcinoma.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Thyroid nodules require accurate diagnosis to differentiate benign from malignant conditions.
  • Medullary carcinoma is a rare but aggressive thyroid malignancy.
  • Hyalinizing trabecular adenoma is a rare, typically benign thyroid neoplasm.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old Japanese female presented with a thyroid nodule initially suspected as carcinoma.
  • Intraoperative frozen section and permanent H&E staining suggested medullary carcinoma.
  • The nodule was a well-encapsulated 3.0 x 2.0 x 1 cm mass.

Findings:

  • Immunohistochemical staining was crucial for definitive diagnosis.
  • Stains for thyrocalcitonin, CEA, and thyroglobulin were negative for medullary carcinoma.

  • The final diagnosis was hyalinizing trabecular adenoma.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate histopathological diagnosis is critical for appropriate patient management.
    • Immunohistochemistry plays a vital role in resolving diagnostic ambiguities in thyroid pathology.
    • This case underscores the importance of comprehensive diagnostic workup for thyroid nodules.
