Overview

Anaplastic thyroid cancer must be differentiated from other diseases that cause neck masses such as goiter, Grave's disease, Hurthle cell carcinoma, follicular thyroid cancer, papillary thyroid carcinoma, follicular adenoma, sarcoma, and medullary thyroid carcinoma.

Differentiating Follicular thyroid cancer from other Diseases

• Goiter
• Follicular adenoma
• Plummer's disease
• Toxic nodular goiter
• Grave's disease
• Hurthle cell carcinoma
• Thyroid nodule
• Papillary thyroid carcinoma
• Medullary thyroid carcinoma
• Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma
• Squamous cell carcinoma
• Sarcoma.
