Abstract: Objective: Specimens of papillary thyroid carcinoma and nodular goiter have been immunohistochemically studied by using a novel monoclonal antibody D2-40 which is specific against lymph epithelial cells in the detection of the newly formed micro-lymphatic vessel density(MLVD) in lesions in order to seek clues of papillary thyroid carcinoma and its well known ability to involve regional lymph nodes. Micro-vascular density(MVD)as the future of tumor angiogenesis was immunochemically compared by CD34. Methods: MLVD and MVD were determined by conventional HE staining and Envison immunohistochemistry using D2-40 and CD34 monoclonal antibodies in 46 specimens of papillary thyroid carcinoma and 20 of nodular goiter. Results: The micro-lymphatic vessel of papillary thyroid carcinoma in the peripheral zone of stroma appeared to be associated with the spread of tumors to regional lymph nodes. Conclusion: The metastasis process of thyroid papillary carcinoma is associated with the formation of the micro-lymphatic vessel and micrangium. The antimetastatic potential for targeting these lymphatics may be of potential therapeutic benefit in the future.
