Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) is rare and is usually widely invasive at presentation. Here we present an unusual case with a component meeting diagnostic criteria for PDTC by Turin consensus proposal arising within a follicular adenoma. A 44-year-old female was found to have an incidental right thyroid nodule that was suggestive of follicular neoplasm on FNA. Histological examination of hemithyroidectomy revealed an 11 mm focus with insular growth pattern, alteration in cell morphology, and high mitotic count meeting criteria for PDTC. In addition there were several regions showing trabecular architecture with increased mitotic activity but not meeting criteria for PDTC. The literature for such cases is sparse but suggests much better prognosis than conventional invasive PDTC, although a biological potential for aggressive behaviour may be possible.

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a rare but highly aggressive human malignancy. It is known that disturbances in apoptotic pathways have a great impact on tumor progression and aggressiveness. In this study the apoptosisrelated molecules Bcl-2 (antiapoptotic), Bax (proapoptotic) and survivin (an inhibitor of apoptosis) were analyzed immunohistochemically in thirty archival cases of ATC. In situ apoptotic cell death was analyzed by the TUNEL method. Mean Bcl-2 staining score (calculated from individual scores from 0-3) was low compared to those for Bax and survivin (p<0.05). High expression of survivin was associated with high Bax expression, and was significantly segregated from high Bcl-2 expressing cases (p<0.05). Despite high Bax expression, apoptotic cell death was low in the investigated carcinomas. In addition, the mean apoptotic index in high survivin expressing carcinomas was significantly lower than in low survivin expressing carcinomas (p<0.05). It could be concluded that down-regulation of Bcl-2 is counterbalanced by up-regulation of survivin, which may overcome the effects of high Bax expression, and, at least partly, explain the low apoptosis rate and high biological aggressiveness of ATC.
