Metastasis to thyroid -Common Pitfalls

- Metastatic RCC misdiagnosed as primary follicular neoplasm
- Metastatic well-differentiated adenocarcinoma as papillary thyroid carcinoma, for example metastatic lung adenocarcinoma (see pic 2-4)
- Metastatic high grade carcinoma as poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) or anaplastic thyroid carcinoma

***Intranodal thyroid inclusions***

1. Predominantly smooth luminal borders
2. Absence of nuclear pseudoinclusions
3. Nuclear diameter not larger that two times of an adjacent lymphocyte
4. Negative for BRAF, VE1, HBME-1 and galectin-3 IHC

They can coexist with metastatic PTC
Diagnostic criteria based on WHO 2020 Head and Neck Tumors

Do you know an out-of-frame ALK fusion can resume its open reading frame through alternative translation start sites and generate functional kinase protein as a therapeutic target? Check out our new study from @NYCU_official published on @CellRepMed👇

It’s a Trap! 🪤 So grateful to have presented at @TheUSCAP NASHP Companion Meeting today in San Antonio. Sinonasal pathology keeps us on our toes — loved connecting with this incredible community. #USCAP2026 #PathTwitter #HeadAndNeckPath

[Jen-Fan Hang, MD, FIAC @jfhang]

I am very honored to be invited by @NASHNPath to give a talk on diagnostic pitfalls in #Thyroid #Pathology at @TheUSCAP 2026 next week. The talk is accompanied by a proceeding article that has just been published in @HeadNeckPathol.👇#ENTPath #EndoPath

[Springer Pathology @SpringerPath]

A meta-analysis in @EndoPath examines the classification of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) versus pituitary adenomas. Findings suggest PitNETs align more closely with neuroendocrine tumors based on DNA methylation data.

Great pleasure to present a thyroid molecular case with a rare non-BRAF V600E mutation falsely called as positive for BRAF V600E at the “Molecular to the rescue” session with other great speakers #IACcongress
