Abstract
Papillary carcinoma (PC) and hyalinizing trabecular tumors (HTT) of the thyroid share several morphological features, including the presence of nuclear pseudoinclusions (NPI). One of the distinct characteristics of HTT is its hyalinizing stroma, which contains abundant basement membrane (BM) material. We investigated the distribution of BM material in PC and HTT. Fifteen cases of PC and nine cases of HTT were analyzed immunohistochemically with monoclonal antibodies for type IV collagen and laminin. Three stromal staining patterns were observed: (1) linear staining along the epithelium lining papillae, between trabeculae, and around follicles; (2) focal absence of staining; (3) lumpy or diffuse stromal staining. Although the latter was more commonly seen in HTT, all three patterns were present in both tumor types. More interestingly, we observed two hitherto undescribed intracellular staining patterns in both tumor types: intracytoplasmic dotlike staining and staining of NPI. Electron microscopy was performed in three cases of PC. Dilated cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum containing dense amorphous material resembling BM were observed in the cytoplasm in one case and in the NPI in another. These findings suggest the presence o...Continue Reading
