Thyroid Glands is part of the Endocrine System and Breast section of Pathology. Practise 27 exam-style MCQs for NEET PG, FMGE, INI-CET and NEET SS, each with the correct answer and a detailed explanation.
Thyroid Glands MCQs distinguish medullary carcinoma by its parafollicular cells and calcitonin from follicular adenoma with its intact capsule, and recall childhood irradiation behind papillary carcinoma. These are high-yield NEET PG questions for FMGE, INI-CET and NEET SS.
Anti- beta 2 glycoprotein antibody is most frequently seen in Antiphospholipid Syndrome Reference : Robbins 9th/pg 124; 8th/pg 123
Parafollicular cells along with clusters of plasmacytoid and scant amyloid are suggestive of medullary carcinoma thyroid gland. Serum calcitonin levels are used as a tumor marker in this case. Reference: Robbins & Cotran Pathologic Basis of Diseases 10 th edition, chapter 24, pg 1091
The hallmark of all follicular adenomas is the presence of an intact, well-formed capsule encircling the tumor. Careful evaluation of the integrity of the capsule is therefore, critical in distinguishing follicular adenomas from follicular carcinomas, which demonstrate capsular and/or vascular invasion. This can be demonstrated by biopsy of the gland and not FNAC which will demonstrate only the morphology of the tumor cells and not the entire gland histology.
