From: Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine | Date: June 1, 2003| Author: | Copyright information

* Context.-Cytoplasmic yellow bodies are a common and frequent histologic finding in hyalinizing trabecular adenoma of the thyroid gland, a morphologically distinctive neoplasm, and are visible in fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the tumor.

Objective.-To determine the prevalence and frequency of cytoplasmic yellow bodies in common thyroid tumors.

Design.-Microscopic slides of random cases of papillary carcinoma (61 cases), follicular adenoma (27 cases), and Hurthle cell adenoma (12 cases) were searched for cytoplasmic yellow bodies.

Setting and Patients.-Slides were from patients who had ...
