I agree with most of the people here. The neck FNA is this recurrent thyroid carcinoma, which shows Hurthle cell features. Immunostains were performed to rule out medullary carcinoma. The outside diagnosis for this case is "papillary carcinoma, Hurthle cell varaint", we feel that the nuclear features are focal and not enough for papillary carcinoma, so we called this Hurthle cell carcinoma.
The differential diagnosis for thyroid neoplasm with Hurthle cell features should always include Hurthle cell neoplasm, Hurthle cell variant of papillary carcinoma, medullary carcinoma, and metastatic malignancies, such as renal cell carcinoma. Hope this case illustrates that.
