Thyroid gland follicular carcinoma
MONDO:0005034A differentiated adenocarcinoma arising from the follicular cells of the thyroid gland. The nuclear features which characterize the thyroid gland papillary carcinoma are absent. Radiation exposure is a risk factor and it comprises approximately 10% to 15% of thyroid cancers. Clinically, it usually presents as a solitary mass in the thyroid gland. It is generally unifocal and thickly encapsulated and shows invasion of the capsule or the vessels. Diagnostic procedures include thyroid ultrasound and fine needle biopsy.
Also known as: follicular cancer of the thyroid, follicular cancer of the thyroid gland, follicular cancer of thyroid, follicular cancer of thyroid gland, thyroid gland follicular cancer, well-differentiated follicular carcinoma, carcinoma of thyroid follicle, carcinoma, follicular cell, malignant
