ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Follicular carcinoma of the thyroid is less common than papillary carcinoma and so with a few clinical data.OBJECTIVES:
We performed this study for the purpose of getting further understanding and more supporting idea for diagnosis and treatment of follicular carcinoma. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Four hundred thirty patients with thyroid tumors were treated from 1991 to 1995. Twenty two patients were histopathologically proved as follicular carcinoma. All but one without treatment were reviewed retrospectively.RESULTS:
Of the 430 patients, 382(88.8%) were malignant and 48(11.2%) were benign. In malignant tumors, 317(83.0%) were papillary carcinoma and 22(5.8%) were follicular carcinoma. Fine-needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) was performed in 17/21 which revealed malignancy only in 7 patients. Total thyroidectomies were performed in 18 patinets;12 patients had completion thyroidectomies. Cervical lymph node metastases presented in 3 patients and distant metastases were detected in 6 patients. According to the AMES risk group, 9 patients were in low and 12 patients were in high risk group.CONCLUSION:
Follicular carcinoma of the thyroid reveals higher rate of distant metastases and lower accuracy of fine-needle aspiration cytology and frozen section biopsy. Therefore, the more aggressive treatment should be considered in high risk group after confirmation of distant metastases through careful evaluation.
