Papillary carcinoma, the commonest primary cancer of thyroid, exhibits a broad morphological spectrum. In this review, the clinicopathological features of papillary carcinoma, classical and its variants (follicular, solid, cribriform, variant with exuberant nodular fasciitis-like stroma, encapsulated, diffuse sclerosing, diffuse follicular, tall cell, columnar cell, oxyphil cell, "dedifferentiated", occult, latent and microcarcinoma) are summarized.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002291	Carcinoma, Papillary	A malignant neoplasm characterized by the formation of numerous, irregular, finger-like projections of fibrous stroma that is covered with a surface layer of neoplastic epithelial cells. (Stedman, 25th ed)	Carcinomas, Papillary,Papillary Carcinoma,Papillary Carcinomas
D002467	Cell Nucleus	Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed)	Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D003593	Cytoplasm	The part of a cell that contains the CYTOSOL and small structures excluding the CELL NUCLEUS; MITOCHONDRIA; and large VACUOLES. (Glick, Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1990)	Protoplasm,Cytoplasms,Protoplasms
