Case #19
 
Clinical data: 18 year old female with thyroid cancer in the familiar anamnesis. Cold nodule of 1.5 cm in the right thyroid gland. Frozen section diagnosis: Papillary carcinoma (follicular variant). Pathology and comment: Papillary carcinomas may be difficult to find in the thyroid gland. Small, irregular scars, especially in an otherwise normal gland are suspicious and frozen section must be carried out. Follicular and papillary structures with invasive growth (perineural invasion may be helpful) help to establish the diagnosis.
