subtype of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Few studies have compared the clinical behavior …

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common kind of thyroid cancer. Approximately
20,000 new cases are diagnosed annually in the United States, according to the American …

Papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs) are diagnosed mainly by the features of nuclei of the
neoplastic cells. Theoretically, by similarity to other types of carcinoma, infiltrative tumor …

Background The tall cell variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (TCVPTC) is more aggressive
than classic papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), but the percentage of tall cells needed to …

The majority of papillary thyroid carcinoma is indolent and associated with long-term
survival. The columnar cell variant, however, is a rare subtype that is variable in biological …

Twenty-four cases of the tall cell variant (TCV), a subset of papillary thyroid carcinoma, were
identified in a group of 624 patients with thyroid cancer. All pathology specimens were …

Papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC) with BRAF V600E mutation are morphologically
distinctive. They are typically classic or tall cell variants, show infiltrative borders, and are …

Objective The hobnail variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (HVPTC) has emerged as a rare
and aggressive variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). We aim to determine the …

We performed this study to compare the clinicopathologic features and outcomes between
the patients with poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) and the patients with the …

OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have shown that a BRAFV600E reflects poor prognosis, mainly
