[Hürthle cells carcinoma. Report of two operated cases and review of the literature].
Hürthle cells carcinomas are considered a variant of folicular carcinomas and represent about 2% of all malignant thyroid tumours. We report 2 cases of 2 women of 46 and 43 years old confirmed by histological exam after total thyroidectomy with good postoperative evolution. The presence of capsular and vascular invasion is the most important criteria to distinguish this entity from the Hürthle cells adenomas.
