Background: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) was first noticed in prostate cancer cells, thereafter, It has been found in the endothelial cells of neovasculature in a variety of tumors, but not in normal vascular endothelium, This specificity makes PSMA an ideal molecule for vascular targeting in Cancer theranostics (i.e., combined diagnostic and therapeutic).

Also, it has been proven to be reactive in various non-lymphoid cells and tissue and different types of neoplasms.
Aim: To evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of CD10 in malignant thyroid neoplasms and different benign lesions and to assess whether CD10 can be used as a malignancy marker in thyroid pathology or not.
