Overview
Medullary thyroid cancer may be classified according to the mode of occurrence into 2 groups: sporadic medullary thyroid cancer and inherited medullary thyroid cancer.
Classification
- Medullary thyroid cancer may be classified according to the mode of occurrence into 2 groups: sporadic medullary thyroid cancer and inherited medullary thyroid cancer.
- Sporadic medullary thyroid cancer[1]
- Sporadic medullary thyroid cancer (80% of the cases)
- Inherited medullary thyroid cancer (20% of the cases)
- Medullary thyroid cancer may be classified according to histologic variants into:[2]
- Papillary or pseudopapillary due to the presence of papillary structures or artifactual structures resembling papillae.
- Glandular
- Giant cells
- Spindle cell
- Small cell and Neuroblastoma-like
- Paraganglioma-like
- Onchocytic cell
- Clear cell
- Angiosarcoma-like
- Squamous cell
- Melanin-producing
- Amphicrine
