Thyroid follicular cancer symptoms?
Follicular thyroid carcinoma is characterized by long course of disease, slow growth, few of which grow fast recently, and lack of obvious local malignant manifestations. The diameter of the mass is several centimeters or more, mostly single, a few can be multiple or bilateral, solid, hard and tough, the boundary is not clear.
Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) is more malignant than papillary thyroid carcinoma. It rarely metastasizes through lymph nodes, and usually metastasizes to bone and lung through blood. Its pathological feature is the presence of small follicles, but there is no colloid in the follicles. FTC is not easy to distinguish from follicular adenoma, which can only be distinguished by invading the capsule and blood vessels.
Microscopically, some follicular thyroid carcinoma tissues are normal in shape, and only mitosis can be seen in some parts, often invading blood vessels and nearby tissues. Pure FTC is rare, and most of them are mixed with PTC. FTC often retains its function of iodine uptake and thyroglobulin synthesis, and even can synthesize thyroid hormone, causing hyperthyroidism. This feature of FTC is suitable for 131I treatment.
