Methods Sixteen cases of HCT were studied by the clinicopathological study and immunohistochemical and review of the literature. Results There were 13 cases of h?rthle cell adenomas, 5 h?rthle cell follicular carcinomas. Immunostains showed that almost all benign and malignant HCT expressed TG, vimentin, S-100 protein.
