Abstract
Few benign and malignant thyroid lesions share many histological features including papillary and trabecular pattern, hyalinized stroma, calcification, nuclear grooving and nuclear inclusion. Well formalin fixed right lobe hemithyroidectomy specimen was received. After processing, H and E stain was done. Immunohistochemical studies (TTF, Thyroglobuline, MIB-1) and special stain (Congo red) were done to make a definite diagnosis. The present case describes a relatively rare thyroid tumour – Hyalinizing trabecular tumour with its varied morphological features creating diagnostic difficulties and role of IHC in formulating definitive diagnosis.
Keywords: Hyalinizing trabecular tumor, Ki67 (clone MIB-1 and SP6), papillary thyroid carcinoma
