Abstract:
Hyalinizing trabecular tumor (HTT) is a primary thyroid tumor discovered 20 years ago. This tumor is usually misdi-agnosed as papillary thyroid carcinoma because of their many similar nuclear features. Although controversy has focused on the malig-nant potential of HTT, results show that this tumor has a favorable clinical prognosis. Improving the preoperative diagnosis of HTT can reduce the scope of operation because misdiagnosis before or during surgery may lead to unnecessary total thyroidectomy. This study re-viewed the pathology, diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis of HTT.
