C-cell hyperplasia
Diagnosis in short
LM DDx medullary thyroid carcinoma
Gross not apparent
Site thyroid gland
Syndromes Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A
Prevalence uncommon
Blood work calcitonin level elevated
Prognosis benign in itself
Treatment prophylatic surgery

C-cell hyperplasia is a pathology of the thyroid gland and considered the precursor for medullary thyroid carcinoma.

General

Gross

  • Not visible.

Microscopic

Features:

  • Location:[4]
    • Mid portion of lobe to upper third of lobe.
      • Not at the poles.
      • Not in the isthmus.
  • Definitions vary.[5]

One definition - either of the following:[1]

  1. >50 C-cells per low-power field (x100).
    • This part of the definition suffers from LPFitis. The paper should have been rejected.
  2. Confined to the thyroid gland and no larger than 10 mm in greatest dimension.

Another definition:

  • Invasion of the basement membrane with stromal reaction.

A third definition:

  • "Several clusters" of more than six C cells.
