| Résumé : | Hürthle (oxyphilic or oncocytic) cell carcinoma is a variant of follicular cell carcinoma of thyroid. Although this entity of thyroid cancer is well known, its occurrence in young patients has scarcely been reported. We report a case of a 26 year-old male patient, at the time of diagnosis, of Turkish origin, who developed a tracheal, pulmonary and mediastinal metastatic Hürthle cell carcinoma with bilateral cervical and mediastinal lymphadenopathies. This case illustrates an aggressive and metastatic cancer at the time of diagnosis and resistant to all treatment options including surgery, chemotherapy and radioactive iodine. |
