Suspicious for papillary carcinoma

Monolayered sheet of follicular cells with oval nuclei, nuclear grooves and focal chromatin clearing.

Monolayered sheet of follicular cells with nuclear elongation, chromatin clearing and nuclear grooves.

Monolayered sheet of follicular cells with nuclear elongation, chromatin clearing and nuclear grooves

Surgical follow-up to the previous three images revealed a follicular variant of papillary carcinoma. Note the thick eosinophilic colloid within the follicles.

Follicular cells with elongated nuclei embedded in stroma. (Histologic follow-up revealed a hyalinizing trabecular adenoma.)

The hyalinizing trabecular adenoma resembles papillary thyroid carcinoma. Note, however, that the elongated nuclei are almost spindle shaped and the cells are embedded within stroma (histologic section).
