Abstract
Coexistence of atypical adenoma, adenoma with bizarre nuclei and follicular
variant of papillary carcinoma is described in the same thyroid, with study of
p53 expression. A 72-year-old woman presented to the endocrinology outpatient
unit for a routine follow-up visit. Patient underwent a total thyroidectomy.
Histological examination revealed a solid nodular neoplasm with the longest
diameter of 0.8 cm in the upper pole of the left lobe. The neoplasm showed the
histological features of follicular variant of papillary carcinoma with moderate
diffuse immunoreactivity for p53. The lower pole of the right lobe showed two
adjacent nodules with histological features respectively of atypical adenoma
and adenoma with bizarre nuclei, with strong diffuse immunoreactivity for p53.
