甲状腺髓样癌,又称实体癌,是甲状腺癌中较少见的一型。生长较缓慢,属中等度恶性。过去不被注意,直到1959年始被Hazard等明确识别,从甲状腺未分化癌、滤泡型癌等中区分出来,列为独立的一型,称之为甲状腺髓样癌。此后不少作者陆续报导了此型癌。根据手头资料,国内仅上海肿瘤医院病理科及中国医学科学院肿瘤研究所先后报导16例和15例。 Medullary thyroid cancer, also known as solid cancer, is a rare type of thyroid cancer. It grows slowly and is moderately malignant. In the past, it was not noticed until it was clearly identified by Hazard et al. in 1959. It was classified as an independent type from undifferentiated thyroid cancer, follicular cancer, and the like, and was called medullary thyroid carcinoma. Since then many authors have reported this type of cancer one after another. According to the data available at hand, only the Department of Pathology of Shanghai Cancer Hospital and the Institute of Tumor Research of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences have reported 16 cases and 15 cases.
