Oxyphilic cell (Hürthle cell) carcinomas of the thyroid gland, variant of follicular carcinoma, are more malignant than follicular non oxyphilic cell carcinomas with a similar size and degree of invasiveness. Gross features, microscopic features of oxyphilic, clear and bicolored cells carcinomas and diagnostic techniques are related with a differential diagnosis with papillary oxyphilic cell carcinoma.
