Abstract
A rare case of mixed follicular-parafollicular thyroid carcinoma which occurred in a 50-year-old man, is reported. The ultrastructural aspects of the tumor showed: a biphasic growth pattern with microfolliculi and solid areas; the coexpression of thyroglobulin and calcitonin antigens in the same follicle-like structures; the presence of neuroendocrine granules, microvilli and intracytoplasmic canaliculi bordered by microvilli. These characteristics lead us to a diagnosis of mixed follicular-parafullicolar thyroid carcinoma.
