Pathology Section, Kanazawa University Hospital, Japan.

A rare case of mucin-producing poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the thyroid is reported in a 58-year-old man. Light microscopically, the tumor composed of columnar cells, cuboidal cells and spindle cells and these tumor cells showed a various growth pattern; glandular growth with columnar cells, microfollicular growth with cuboidal cells and solid growth with spindle cells. Mucin histochemistry showed scattered foci of mucin production. Immunohistochemistry showed a focal positive staining for thyroglobulin and carcinoembryonic antigen, but a negative staining for calcitonin throughout the tumor. The patient had cervical and axillary lymph node recurrences after the radical operation. The histologic finding of this tumor is peculiar; we report this case briefly.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D009077 Mucins High molecular weight mucoproteins that protect the surface of EPITHELIAL CELLS by providing a barrier to particulate matter and microorganisms. Membrane-anchored mucins may have additional roles concerned with protein interactions at the cell surface. Mucin
D002272 Carcinoembryonic Antigen A glycoprotein that is secreted into the luminal surface of the epithelia in the gastrointestinal tract. It is found in the feces and pancreaticobiliary secretions and is used to monitor the response to colon cancer treatment.
