Dear Dr. Conard:
.
In confirmation of our telephone conversation this morning, I have
arrived at the following diagnoses on the slides from the Marshallese.
a 3h-year-old female from Utirik who received only 36 R,
shows a well-developed follicular carcinoma with capsule invasion suggesting
origin from a preexisting adenoma.
In some foci there is tumor in the thyroid
tissue without any evidence of a preexisting capsule.
There is also evidence
of blood vessel invasion.

It may ultimately prove to be carcinoma.

shows yapillary adeno-
carcinoma with metastases to lymph node. The nonneoplastic portion of the
thyroid shows evidence of mild adenomatous goiter. There are metastases to
lymph nodes from the left lower pole of the thyroid, the left upper pole and
upper cervical lymph nodes and cervical lymph nodes at midportion of radical
neck dissection.
