Squamous cell carcinomas and adenosquamous carcinomas originating from the thyroid gland

Abstract

Three cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 3 cases of mixed squamous and glandular carcinoma were reported. Pathologic differential diagnosis of these rare primary tumors of the thyroid gland were discussed. All except 1 case occurred in elderly patients; their clinical behavior was more aggressive than that of differentiated carcinoma. It is suggested that the tumor be treated more vigorously at its initial stage.
