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
## 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).
Columnar cell variant of papillary carcinoma (CCV-PC) thyroid is a rare and aggressive tumor composed of tall columnar cells that form papillae, glands and solid structures. This paper describes fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytologic features in a case of CCV-PC occurring in the right thyroid lobe o
## Abstract Tall cell variant (TCV) of papillary thyroid carcinoma is a rare tumor, which is usually associated with poor outcome, and pathologists often face the dilemma of proper diagnosis of TCV, not only by cytology but also histology. To allow surgeons to determine aggressiveness of the tumor
