Overview

Classification

  • Thyroid adenomas are classified into 2 subtype: follicular adenoma and others.
  • Others include papillary adenoma which is very rare.[1] Almost all thyroid adenomas are follicular adenomas.[2]
  • Follicular adenomas can be described as "cold", "warm" or "hot" depending on their level of function.[3]
  • Histopathologically, follicular adenomas can be classified according to their cellular architecture and relative amounts of cellularity and colloid into the following types depicted in the flowchart.

  • Below is a table with the description of different types of follicular adenoma:[4]
Number Type of follicular adenoma Description

1

  • Microfollicular adenoma (Fetal)
  • Consist of small, closely packed follicles lined with epithelium
  • Have the potential for microinvasion

2

  • Macrofollicular adenoma (colloid adenoma)
  • Consists of large amount of colloid
  • Do not have the potential for microinvasion

3

  • Hürthle cell adenoma (oxyphil or oncocytic tumor)
  • Consists of oxyphil cells
  • Have the potential for microinvasion

4

  • Atypical embryonal adenoma
  • Consists of embryonic cells
  • Have the potential for microinvasion

5

  • Hyalinizing trabecular adenoma
  • Consists of hyalinization
  • Have the potential for microinvasion
