Papillary Hürthle cell tumor of thyroid: report of a case with a cytomorphologic approach to diagnosis.

BACKGROUND: Hürthle cells are founded often in fine needle aspirates of the thyroid from nonneoplastic and neoplastic lesions. Papillary Hürthle cell tumors of the thyroid are composed of oxyphilic cells with a prominent papillary component. Papillary Hürthle cell carcinoma is a relatively uncommon type of thyroid carcinoma. CASE: A 42-year-old man had two asymptomatic nodules (2.5 and 3.5 cm) in the left lobe and one (2.5 cm) in the right lobe of the thyroid. Fine needle aspiration biopsy of the tumor in the left lobe showed large cells in monolayers and papillary clusters with moderate to abundant eosinophilic, granular cytoplasm with sharp borders, a granular nuclear enlargement with pleomorphism and single nucleoli. Histologic examination showed capsular invasion and infiltration of vessels. CONCLUSION: The cytologic appearance of papillary Hürthle cell carcinoma is not specific but can be suspected on fine needle aspiration.

Effect of potato inhibitor of proteolytic enzymes on activity and morphology of the rat pancreas.

The effect of the inhibitor of proteolytic enzymes present in potatoes on morphology and activity of the rat pancreas was investigated administering the inhibitor with drinking water in doses of 50 and 100 mg to two groups of rats for 20 days. On the 21st day the exocrine activity of the pancreas was evaluated by the method of duodenal perfusion after previous hormonal stimulation of pancreatic secretion (secretin and cholecystokinin-pancreozymin 1 U CHR/100 g body weight), while morphology of the organ was assessed by histological methods. It was found that the inhibitor exerts a trophic effect on the rat pancreas, causing hypertrophy of acinar cells and raising the exocrine activity of the gland. The higher dose of the inhibitor had a more pronounced trophic effect.
