  • Title: [Hürthle cell tumors: personal experience].
    Author: De Toma G, Gabriele R, Sgarzini G, Plocco M, Campli M, Sambuco L.
    Journal: G Chir; 1995 May; 16(5):223-6. PubMed ID: 7654499.
    Abstract:
    Hürthle cell tumors of the thyroid gland are uncommon lesions (3% of all well differentiated tumors). Histological diagnosis is often difficult: according to recent criteria only those tumors with almost 75% of oxyphil cells are well recognized as Hürthle cell neoplasms. Extracapsular and blood-vessels invasion, capsular penetration, DNA patterns and tumoral necrosis are indicative for malignancy. The Authors report their experience in the management of 46 patients who underwent thyroid surgery for Hürthle cell neoplasms. Histological findings, surgical approach and post-operative follow up are discussed.
