Thyroid Papillary Microcarcinoma
• May metastasize to regional lymph nodes • Distant metastasis are rare • Excellent prognosis; generally of limited
to no biologic import• Diagnosis of papillary microcarcinoma is
not, in and of itself, an indication for additional surgery
![Page 38: Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma: Fallacies and Realities in ...... · Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma: Fallacies and Realities in Diagnosis Los Angeles Society of Pathologists The 13th Annual](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040108/5d0f99a388c99345078b4f51/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Papillary Microcarcinoma Terminology
• Latent papillary carcinoma• Occult papillary carcinoma• Papillary microtumor (Rosai et al. Int J Surg
Pathol 2003;11:249-251) • Chernobyl Pathologists Group (Int J Surg
Pathol 2000;8:181-3) – exception in children and adolescents under 19 years of age due to significant number with extrathyroidal extension and distant metastases

Consensus• 1) General agreement and 2) Solidarity of belief or sentiment• Origin in a Latin word meaning literally to feel together• The formal process of achieving consensus ideally requires
serious treatment of the considered opinion of each group member: – those advocating the adoption of a particular course of
action genuinely wish to hear those who may be against the proposal, since discussion, it is supposed, can only enhance ultimate consensus
– the hope is that in such circumstances action, or the adoption of group opinion, without resolution of dissent will be rare
• A consensus rather than a voting process is often employed with this intention, as well as to minimize any possible damage to interpersonal relationships

Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma Issues
• Isolated or limited foci of TPC in an otherwise nondescript follicular lesion:– Is there a percentage of the lesion below which not
TPC but beyond which is TPC?– Does IHC assist in the diagnosis and differential
diagnosis?– What is the role of cytogenetics and/or molecular
markers in the diagnosis?– Is this purely an H&E diagnosis?– What diagnostic term(s) should be used if not
TPC?– How to treat?

Encapsulated Follicular Neoplasms• Equivocal nuclear features but definitely invasive
diagnose as carcinoma• In such circumstances the specific designation of the
type of carcinoma (i.e., papillary versus follicular) is academic since treatment should be the same
• For a neoplasm with invasive growth but equivocal cytomorphologic features:
• carcinoma, favor thyroid papillary carcinoma, (follicular variant);
• carcinoma, favor follicular carcinoma, minimally invasive;
• well-differentiated carcinoma, NOS

Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma Issues
• Isolated or limited foci of TPC in an otherwise nondescript follicular lesion:– is there a percentage of the lesion below
which not TPC but beyond which is TPC?• varying thresholds• there are no set criteria defining a
minimum percentage that equates to a diagnosis of TPC
![Page 79: Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma: Fallacies and Realities in ...... · Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma: Fallacies and Realities in Diagnosis Los Angeles Society of Pathologists The 13th Annual](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040108/5d0f99a388c99345078b4f51/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma Does IHC Help?
• Thyroglobulin, TTF-1, cytokeratin positive• Calcitonin, neuroendocrine markers negative• Markers purportedly valuable in the diagnosis and
DDX of TPC:– HMWCK, CK19, galectin-3, HBME-1, CITED-1,
fibronectin-1, CD15, CD44, platelet-derive growth factor:• not specific;• staining can be patchy and weak even in classic
TPC;• may be positive in normal follicles,
nonneoplastic thyroid lesions and benign lesions/neoplasms

Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma Cytogenetics and Molecular Biology
• Classic TPC:– RET/PTC fusion in 8-60% of cases (RET/PTC1
most common > RET/PTC3):• 30-40% in adults;• 50-60% in young children and young adults;• 60-80% in Chernobyl accident associated TPC;• 60-70% in external rads therapy in childhood
– RET/PTC1 – TPC with prominent papillary architecture and papillary microcarcinoma
– RET/PTC3 – tall cell and solid variants– Not found in follicular neoplasms

Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma Cytogenetics and Molecular Biology
• BRAF mutation:– Occurs in 29-69% of TPC:
• less common (0-13%) in TPC of children and young adults;
• more prevalent in classic TPC, tall cell variant, oncocytic variant, Warthin tumor-like variant;
• rare in follicular variant of TPC;• 33-50% of undifferentiated carcinomas;• 0-13% of poorly-differentiated carcinomas;• absent in follicular neoplasms and TMC
– Equivocal whether of prognostic significance

Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma, Follicular Variant Cytogenetics and Molecular Biology
• Virtual absence of RET translocation• Low frequency (3%) of BRAF mutation• Presence of ras mutation (25-47%):
– correlated to TPC with less characteristic nuclear features;
– lack of extrathyroidal extension;– low rate of nodal metastasis
• Presence of PAX8/PPARγ
translocation (38%):– also present in follicular adenoma (4-33%) and
follicular carcinoma (45-63%)

Extrathyroidal Extension (ETE) Definition
• Direct involvement of the perithyroidal soft tissues by a primary thyroid cancer
• Applies to differentiated thyroid cancers (follicular-epithelial cell derived cancers and C-cell derived cancer)
![Page 134: Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma: Fallacies and Realities in ...... · Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma: Fallacies and Realities in Diagnosis Los Angeles Society of Pathologists The 13th Annual](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040108/5d0f99a388c99345078b4f51/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
Extrathyroidal Extension Criteria
• Extrathyroidal extension includes minimal extension and extensive extension
• Minimal extrathyroid extension includes the presence of cancer extending into perithyroidal soft tissues, including infiltration of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle, as well as around (and into) sizable vascular structures and nerves
![Page 135: Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma: Fallacies and Realities in ...... · Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma: Fallacies and Realities in Diagnosis Los Angeles Society of Pathologists The 13th Annual](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022040108/5d0f99a388c99345078b4f51/html5/thumbnails/135.jpg)
Extrathyroidal Extension Criteria
• Extensive extrathyroidal extension includes the presence of carcinoma well beyond the thyroid gland proper with direct invasion (i.e., not metastasis) into one or more of the following structures:– subcutaneous soft tissues;–adjacent viscera, including the larynx,
trachea and/or esophagus;– the recurrent laryngeal nerve, carotid
artery or mediastinal blood vessels

Extrathyroidal Extension Significance
• AJCC Staging for Thyroid Cancers (7th ed)– applicable for differentiated thyroid cancers
• ETE “upstages” thyroid cancer in patients > 45 years:– T1, T2 carcinomas confined to the thyroid gland;– T3 carcinomas - minimal ETE (e.g., extension to
sternothyroid muscle or perithyroid soft tissues)– T4 carcinomas – extensive ETE:
• T4a invades subcutaneous soft tissues or adjacent structures
• T4b invades prevertebral fascia or encases carotid artery or mediastinal vessels
• Stage III - T3N0M0 and T1-T3N1aM0• Stage IV - Stage IVA: T4aN0M0, T4aN1aM0, T1-T4aN1bM0
Stage IVB: T4b Any N MStage IVC: any T Any N M1

IOC – Thyroid Gland Diagnostic Accuracy
• 98% correlation between IOC including FS and cytologic preparation and final histologic diagnosis
• Average deferral rate of 11% (compared to avg. deferral rate of 3% for other sites)
• Reoperation rate 1.4%

IOC – Thyroid Contraindications/Limitations
• Not indicated in cases diagnosed as definitive for malignancy by FNAB
• Diagnosis of follicular carcinoma

IOC – Thyroid Gland
• Most effective where FNAB is suspicious for thyroid papillary carcinoma:– histology + cytology
• Not indicated in cases diagnosed as definitive for malignancy by FNAB
• Is of limited or no value in the diagnosis of follicular carcinoma

Thyroid Papillary Carcinoma Conclusions
• Diagnosis based on constellation of histologic features
• Adjunctive testing of questionable utility in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis
• Specific types have distinct pathology but not necessarily distinct clinical features
• Histology (e.g., cell type, growth patterns) does not necessarily portend specific biology behavior
• Prognosis and treatment predicated on variety of parameters
