pubmed-article:16883003 | pubmed:abstractText | Hürthle cell carcinoma is an uncommon and occasionally aggressive differentiated thyroid cancer associated with increased mortality compared with other differentiated thyroid malignancies.

However, there is limited information with regard to the true diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value of 18F-FDG PET in this disease. | lld:pubmed |
