[Histological variants (subtypes) of differentiated thyroid carcinoma]

This is a report on retrospective clinical and pathoanatomical study of seventy-one patients presenting histological diagnosis differentiated carcinoma of the thyroid gland, undertaken with the purpose to identify the histological variants (subtypes) of differentiated thyroid carcinoma. As shown by the obtained results, the follicular variant is the commonest subtype of papillary carcinoma (41.18 per cent) followed by focal papillary carcinoma (25.49 per cent), and encapsulated variant (15.69 per cent). On the other hand, the most frequently met with follicular carcinoma subtype proves to be the least invasive variant (55 per cent).
