  • Title: [Vacuolated-cell microfollicular adenoma of the thyroid].
    Author: Balaton AJ, Le Gland PF.
    Journal: Ann Pathol; 1987; 7(1):69-72. PubMed ID: 3620023.
    Abstract:
    A case of vacuolated (signet-ring) cell microfollicular adenoma of the thyroid is presented and confronted to the pertinent literature. It is a rare lesion. Its histologic aspect, featuring vacuolated cells and microfollicules, sometimes clover-shaped, and the results of the mucin stains and thyroglobulin immunostaining confirm the follicular-cell nature of the tumor and exclude primary mucin-producing tumors of the thyroid. Arrest of folliculogenesis appears to be the basic mechanism of histogenesis in our case.
