UNTIL 1945 Morrow (1) could collect from the world literature only 22 cases of Hürthle cell tumor, and he added 1 case of his own. During the last five years only 6 cases of Hürthle cell tumor have been reported, 3 by Bakay (2), 2 by Sheiman and Kravchick (3), and 1 by Neidhardt (4). From this scarcity of case reports most writers infer that Hiirthle cell tumors are extremely rare. In our own material, however, it is encountered in about 5 per cent of all solitary tumors of the thyroid. Since there is wide disagreement in the literature not only regarding the histogenesis of Hiirthle cell tumors but also regarding their prognosis and treatment, we should like to present our clinical and histologic study of 25 cases of Hürthle cell tumors which we observed during the last ten years among 2,031 surgical goiter patients.
