Thyroid carcinoma producing β‐human chorionic gonadotropin shows different clinical behavior
This study confirmed that beta‐human chorionic gonadotropin (β‐hCG) secreting invasive CCV‐PTC has good prognosis comparing with a cohort of follicular cell differentiated thyroid carcinoma. On the contrary, positive immunoreaction with β‐hCG was proved in three anaplastic thyroid carcinoma patients showing aggressive clinical courses. The clinicopathologic characteristics of CCV‐PTC and the paraneoplastic syndromes in follicular cell differentiated thyroid carcinoma were further summarized using literature review.
