oncocytic medullary carcinoma
Monday 20 April 2020
Oncocytic medullary carcinomas can be difficult to recognise. These lesions usually have a nesting or insular architecture and the cells are polygonal rather than having the spindle shaped morphology of the usual variant.
The nuclei resemble neuroendocrine nuclei (round to oval with salt and pepper chromatin).
