Abstract:

We thank Professor Sobrinho-Simoes for his comments on our article (K. Kakudo et al. Endocr Pathol 13:131–134, 2002) (1). In connection with our case 1, we certainly agree with him that the diagnosis of the follicular variant of papillary carcinoma may be difficult. As he points out, a number of immunostains, including cytokeratin 19 and sialyl-Lewis, may be helpful in establishing the diagnosis. Dr. Hirokawa with our coauthorship recently published a paper on observer variation of encapsulated follicular lesions of the thyroid gland in Am J Surg Pathol, in which significant observer disagreement is again shown (2).
