Abstract
|
|
|
|
Hurthle cell carcinoma (HCC) is a relatively rare disease, which comprises about 3% of differentiatedthyroid carcinoma. HCC is considered to have more aggressive clinical behavior comparedwith other differentiated thyroid carcinoma. However, there has been no consensus aboutclinical behavior and optimal treatment of HCC because of insufficient reports. Moreover,owing to geographical characteristics, HCC is rarer in Korea than in western countries. Basedon 2017 World Health Organization classification, HCC is newly classified as an individualgroup, not as a subtype of follicular thyroid carcinoma. Therefore, we report data of 12 HCCpatients who underwent surgery in our center from January 2000 to May 2020 with a reviewof the literature.
