Abstract:
A new case of thyroid carcinoma with thymoma-like features, occurring in a 45-year-old lady, is reported. In order to establish the incidence of residual thymic tissue, 2575 consecutive surgically removed thyroid glands were also examined. Thymic tissue was found to be present in up to 1.4% of the cases. The clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features of the case together with its possible relationship with the persistence of aberrant nodules of thymic tissue in the neck are discussed.
