Objective: To present a case of an insular variant of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) and to review the literature related to diagnosis, natural history, and treatment of this unusual form of thyroid cancer.
Methods: We present the clinical, laboratory, and pathologic findings of the study patient and review English-language literature related to PDTC published between 1970 and the present.
