Objectives: Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) constitute most of the differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC). Frequency of follicular variant (FV)PTC, a variant of PTC, has been increasing in recent years. However, the data concerning clinicopathologic, radiologic, and cytologic features of this subtype are limited in the literature. The aim of this study was to compare the clinicopathologic features of patients who were diagnosed and followed-up as FTC and FV-PTC in our institution, and also to investigate if there are differences between two groups in the preoperative radiologic, cytologic characteristics, and histopathologic tumoral features.
Materials and Methods: Totally 177 (144 FV-PTC and 30 FTC) patients were included in this retrospective study. Preoperative thyroid function tests, thyroid antibodies, ultrasonographic and cytologic features of nodules, postoperative histopathologic features of both groups were compared.
Results: FV-PTC group had 23 (16%) male and 121 (84%) female patients, FTC group had 11 (36.70%) male and 19 (63.30%) female patients. FTC group had significantly higher male patients (p=0.009). When preoperative ultrasonographic features were compared, we found that longitudinal diameters and volume of nodules were significantly higher in the FTC group (respectively, p=0.007 and p=0.005). There were no significant differences according to other ultrasonographic features. In comparison to preoperative nodular cytological results according to the Bethesda classification, follicular neoplasia/suspicious for follicular neoplasia (FN/SFN) cytology was found higher in FTC group compared to FV-PTC (15.80% vs 5.30%, p=0.017). In the evaluation of histopathological tumoral features, tumor diameter was detected higher in the FTC group (median tumor diameter; 25 mm vs 14.5 mm, p <0.001). Capsular invasion and vascular invasion were significantly high in the FTC group (respectively, p<0.001 and p<0.001).



Conclusion: FV-PTC is a commonly seen subtype of the PTC. It has been reported that clinical feature of FV-PTC is between classical type PTC and FTC in the literature. Clinicopathologic behaviour of FV-PTC among the other differentiated thyroid cancers can be determined clearly with the further studies.

Amaç: Diferansiye tiroid kanserinin (DTK) büyük çoğunluğunu
papiller tiroid 
Amaç: Diferansiye tiroid kanserinin (DTK)
büyük çoğunluğunu papiller tiroid kanserleri (PTK) ve folliküler tiroid
kanserleri (FTK) oluşturmaktadır. PTK varyantlarından olan folliküler varyant-
PTK (FV-PTK) sıklığı son yıllarda artmaktadır. Ancak bu alt grup için klinikopatolojik,
radyolojik ve sitolojik özelliklere ait literatür bilgisi kısıtlıdır. Bu
çalışmada amaç, merkezimizde takip edilen FTK ve FV-PTK tanısı alan hastaların
klinikopatolojik özelliklerin karşılaştırılması, preoperatif radyolojik ve
sitolojik özellikler ile histopatolojik tümöral özellikler açısından bu iki
grup arasında fark olup olmadığının araştırılmasıdır. 


Materyal ve Metot: Bu retrospektif
çalışmaya toplam 177 (144 FV-PTK ve 30 FTK) hasta dahil edildi. Her iki hasta
grubunun preoperatif tiroid fonksiyon testleri, tiroid antikorları,
nodüllerinin ultrasonografik ve sitolojik özellikleri, operasyon sonrası
histopatolojik özellikleri karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: FV-PTK grubunda 23 (%16)
erkek hasta, 121 (%84) kadın hasta var iken, FTK grubunda 11 (%36,70) erkek 19
(%63,30) kadın hasta mevcut olup erkek hastaların sayısı FTK grubunda
istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derece fazla idi (p=0,009). Preoperatif
ultrasonografik özellikler karşılaştırıldığında FTK grubundaki nodüllerin
longitudinal çapı ve volümü FV-PTK grubundan istatistiksel olarak anlamlı
derecede daha büyüktü (sırası ile p=0,007 ve p=0,005). Ultrasonografik diğer
özelliklerden açısından istatistiksel anlamlı farklılık izlenmedi. Her iki
gruptaki nodüllerin preoperatif sitoloji sonuçları Bethesda sınıflamasına göre
karşılaştırıldığında folliküler neoplazi/folliküler neoplazi şüphesi (FN/FNŞ)
sitoloji sonucu FTK grubunda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derece daha fazlaydı
(%15,80’e karşılık %5,30, p=0,017). Histopatolojideki tümöral özellikle değerlendirildiğinde
FTK grubunda tümör çapı, FV-PTK grubundan istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derece
daha büyüktü (median tümör çapı 25 mm’e karşılık 14,5 mm, p <0,001).
Kapsüler invazyon ve vasküler invazyon görülme oranı FTK grubunda istatistiksel
anlamlı olarak daha fazlaydı (p<0,001).



Sonuç: FV-PTK, PTK’ının sık görülen bir alt
grubudur. Literatür verilerine göre klinik özelliklerinin klasik tip PTK ile
FTK arasında olduğu belirtilmektedir. Diğer DTK’lar içerisinde FV-PTK’nın
klinikopatolojik davranışı ileri çalışmalarla daha net bir şekilde
tanımlanabilir.
