Hürthle cell tumor behavior: dilemma and resolution.

I B Rosen, S Luk, I Katz

    Surgery
    |October 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hürthle cell tumors present a diagnostic challenge with a 26% malignancy rate. Near-total thyroidectomy is recommended for fit patients, with node sampling for potential metastasis, to improve outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Hürthle cell tumors (HCTs) are rare thyroid neoplasms with variable clinical behavior.
    • Management strategies for HCTs remain debated due to limited long-term data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review a cohort of Hürthle cell tumor patients to inform an optimal treatment policy.
    • To assess the incidence of malignancy, multicentricity, and associated thyroid conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 34 patients diagnosed with Hürthle cell tumor between 1971 and 1984.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, clinical presentation, surgical management, and outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • A 26% incidence of malignancy was observed, with one death attributed to anaplastic transformation.
    • Multicentric disease occurred in 18% of patients, with half being malignant.
    • Contralateral Hürthle cell tumors developed in 12% after lobectomy; 30% had associated thyroid lesions, and 10% had hyperparathyroidism.

    Conclusions:

    • Near-total thyroidectomy is advocated for fit patients with Hürthle cell tumors.
    • Lesser procedures may be suitable for debilitated patients or complex cases.
    • Node sampling is recommended for early metastasis detection and improved survival.
