insular carcinoma of the thyroid
an extremely rare tumor
Insular thyroid carcinoma is an extremely rare tumor (4% of cases) with a poor prognosis and an intermediate malignancy between that of differentiated and anaplastic cancers with a potential frequency of recurrence.

Here is the case of a 47-year-old patient with a thyroid nodule in the left lobe discovered on palpation.
cytopuncture performed:
3 cytopunctures with aspiration: macroscopically transparent sample liquid
