The fine-needle aspirates from two histologically, immunohistochemically, and ultrastructurally confirmed encapsulated papillary oncocytic carcinoma of the thyroid revealed large and small papillary tumor tissue fragments consisting of fibrovascular cores covered with polygonal cells showing abundan
Fine-needle aspirates of three thyroid nodules displayed hypercellularity and papillary tissue fragments that suggested neoplasms.
