[Hurthle's tumor of the thyroid gland].

Refering to last five years experiance in treatment 12 cases of the Hürthle--cell adenomas and one case of Hürthle--cell carcinoma, the author describes characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and aspecialy pathohystological picture of Hürthle--cell toumors of thyroid gland. This material from Surgical clinec Rebro in Zagreb is interesting because of distinction of this toumors, theirs hormonal and metabolic activity, especialy a difference between benign adenoma and malignant carcinoma, in regard of clinical and patohystological aspect of Hürthle--cell toumors.
