Overview

Human thyroid peroxidase (hTPO) is a membrane protein with a key role in the thyroid hormonessynthesis. Loss of hTPO was described in malignant tumours of the thyroid gland. hTPO wastested as a marker of malignancy. Immunohistochemical study of hTPO in 321 thyroid lesions (45malignant tumours, 72 benign tumours, 199 benign non-tumours lesions, and 5 normal thyroidglands) is presented. The sensitivity of hTPO in predicting malignancy in thyroid is 64 %, and thespecificity is 87 %. Thus, hTPO is of limited value in the diagnosis of thyroid malignancy. Theauthors discuss the role of hTPO as a marker of differentiation.

Key words:
human thyroperoxidase - thyroid gland - tumours - marker of malignancy - marker ofdifferentiation - immunohistochemistry
