Oncocytes are frequently found in metabolically active human tissues including the thyroid gland, and, as a general rule, when their proportion in a thyroid tumor is greater than 75% the tumor is referred to as oncocytic (H\u00fcrthle cell) adenoma or carcinoma. Such tumors represent a subset of thyroid lesions, and recently, both interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) studies reported that they may show aneuploidy, with widespread numerical chromosomal alterations. In contrast, very few cases have been studied by conventional cytogenetic analysis. Whether the cells with chromosomal changes are the same as those with mitochondrial accumulation or whether lesions only partially composed of oncocytic cells also have cytogenetic alterations is unclear. To investigate the relationship between acquisition of the oncocytic phenotype and numerical chromosomal changes, we analyzed a random selection of thyroid lesions with (18 cases) and without (11 cases) morphological evidence of oncocytic differentiation. Lesions with oncocytes included hyperplastic nodules, adenomas, H\u00fcrthle cell tumors, and papillary carcinomas with lymphocytic stroma (Whartin\u2010like tumors of the thyroid). Karyotypic changes were analyzed by cytogenetic analysis, FISH, or CGH, and the results were compared with in situ analysis of mitochondrial accumulation by immunofluorescence. A striking correlation between the presence of oncocytes and the presence of aneuploid katyotypes was seen in the oncocytic follicular thyroid nodules, but not in the oncocytic papillary tumors. Structural chromosome changes or normal karyotypes were observed in the lesions lacking oncocytic features. Extending the FICTION technique to the evaluation of a cytoplasmic antigen (mitochondrial membrane antigen), we pursued the simultaneous visualization of both mitochondrial increase and numerical chromosomal alterations, and showed that oncocytes of follicular lesions are prone to become aneuploid. Our data support the contention that follicular tumors composed of oncocytes should be regarded as a distinct subset. \u00a9 2003 Wiley\u2010Liss, Inc.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/gcc.10238","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,17]],"date-time":"2003-07-17T10:09:30Z","timestamp":1058436570000},"page":"22-31","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Aneuploidy in oncocytic lesions of the thyroid gland: Diffuse accumulation of mitochondria within the cell is associated with trisomy 7 and progressive numerical chromosomal alterations"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Tinuccia","family":"Dettori","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniela V.","family":"Frau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria L.","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefano","family":"Mariotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alessandro","family":"Uccheddu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giovanni M.","family":"Daniele","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Tallini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gavino","family":"Faa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roberta","family":"Vanni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0165-4608(91)90458-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/gcc.2870080111"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-199507000-00009"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(65)92993-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","first-page":"162","article-title":"Interphase cytogenetic analysis of normal tissue of thyroid gland by fluorescence in situ hybridization","volume":"114","author":"Barril N","year":"1999","journal-title":"Cancer Genet Cytogenet"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00202871"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0165-4608(97)00057-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(19890801)64:3<680::AID-CNCR2820640319>3.0.CO;2-I"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2559.2000.00925.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-200107000-00009"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1098-2264(199908)25:4<349::AID-GCC6>3.0.CO;2-D"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/328170a0"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/bjc.1998.620"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(19900915)66:6<1213::AID-CNCR2820660622>3.0.CO;2-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/gcc.2870100403"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.289.5483.1357"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","first-page":"178","article-title":"A new case of nodule goiter with t(5;19)(q13;q13)","volume":"103","author":"Marras S","year":"1998","journal-title":"Cancer Genet Cytogenet"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/hupa.2000.8444"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_1","volume-title":"An international system for human cytogenetic nomenclature","author":"Mitelman F","year":"1995"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_1","unstructured":"MitelmanF JohanssonB MertensF editors.2002.
