## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Tall cell variant papillary carcinoma of the thyroid demonstrates unusually aggressive clinical behavior compared with the usual form of papillary thyroid carcinoma. The proto‐oncogene c‐__met__ encodes a tyrosine kinase receptor known to influence cell invasion. This cur
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
