## Background: The tall cell variant of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid (tcv) is characterized by the proliferation of oxyphilic, tall, columnar cells with a height-to-width ratio of at least 2:1. tcv exhibits more aggressive clinical behavior than conventional thyroid papillary carcinoma (cpc).

Crile and Hazard reported in 1953 a follicular pattern of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Little has been said about this pattern in the cytologic literature. From more than 8,000 thyroid aspirates in our files, we reviewed all those diagnosed as ''follicular variant of papillary carcinoma,'' ''suspect
Cytologic reports of the aggressive tall-cell and diffuse sclerosing variants of papillary carcinoma have emphasized features such as tall and large cells, increased nuclear size, nuclear pleomorphism, intranuclear pseudoinclusions, three-dimensional tissue fragments, squamous-like cells, and dense
We read with great interest the article by Ohori and Schoedel on the cytology of high-grade papillary thyroid carcinoma. 1 Two questions should be addressed. First, a feature illustrated by their Figure 2 is the presence of neutrophils in the epithelium of tall-cell carcinoma. Our group previously
