Abstract

A case of an unusual papillary clear cell carcinoma of hte thyroid gland is described. The patient expired 17 days after operative biopsy and thyroxine suppression.

Ultrastructural features of this tumor may relate to the effects of thyroid stimulating hormone as well as the malignant nature of the tumor.
