C-cell hyperplasia
Diagnosis in short

C-cell hyperplasia. H&E stain.
LM DDx medullary thyroid carcinoma
IHC CEA +ve, chromogranin A +ve, synaptophysin +ve
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.
      2. "Medullary thyroid carcinoma 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.

IHC

  • Chromogranin A +ve.
  • CEA +ve.
  • Synaptophysin +ve.
