Abstract

The tall-cell variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma is a rare malignancy characterized by an aggressive course, low relapse-free survival, early metastasis, and frequent development of radioiodine refractoriness. We report two cases of tall-cell papillary thyroid carcinoma in patients who had disease progression after combination treatment and started to receive lenvatinib. We observed partial and complete regression of metastases in response to lenvatinib. Our findings are consistent with the results of other studies assessing treatment efficacy for disseminated tall-cell papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Summary

Introduction

Tall-cell variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma: literature review and case reports Е. В их исследовании у пациентов с ПРЩЖ из высоких клеток без экстратиреоидного распространения наблюдалась значительно более высокая частота метастатического поражения регионарных лимфатических узлов, чем у пациентов с классическим вариантом ПРЩЖ также без экстратиреоидного распространения, причем независимо от возраста, пола и размера опухоли (р = 0,004). Средний возраст 278 пациентов с ПРЩЖ из высоких клеток был больше, чем у пациентов с классическим вариантом (соответственно 54,3 и 46,3 года, р
