Abstract:
An unusual oncocytic papillary thyroid carcinoma with abundant lymphoid stroma bearing a resemblance to Warthin? tumor of salivary gland is described. We report a rare case of a Warthin-like tumor variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma in a 41-year-old-woman. Histologically, the tumor was characterized by oncocytic follicular cells showing nuclear features reminiscent of papillary carcinoma and lymphoid rich stroma. The surrounding non-neoplastic thyroid parenchyma showed focal peritumoral lymphocytic thyroiditis.
