Spindle epithelial tumor with thymus-like differentiation (SETTLE) of the thyroid with prominent mitotic activity and focal necrosis.
American Journal of Surgical Pathology 1999 June
Spindle epithelial tumor with thymus-like differentiation (SETTLE) is a rare, apparently low-grade spindle cell tumor of the thyroid gland occurring in young individuals and thought to be derived from thymic or branchial pouch remnants. Spindle epithelial tumor with thymus-like differentiation has little to no mitotic activity, and focal necrosis has been reported in one case. We present a case of SETTLE in a 29-year-old man that was initially evaluated by fine-needle aspirate biopsy and ultimately found to be consistent histologically with SETTLE. In this case, there were numerous mitotic figures among the spindle cells and focal necrosis. Spindle epithelial tumor with thymus-like differentiation has been considered to be a tumor of low malignant potential with metastases developing some years after diagnosis. This is the first case in which prominent mitotic activity and necrosis is reported perhaps representing an aggressive variant.
