Papillary thyroid cancer (papillary thyroid carcinoma, [1] PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer, [2] representing 75 percent to 85 percent of all thyroid cancer cases. [1] It occurs more frequently in women and presents in the 20–55 year age group.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, papillary thyroid cancer generally spreads slowly and more than 90% of adults go on to live at least 10 to 20 years post-treatment. Treatment.
Papillary microcarcinoma is a subset of papillary thyroid cancer defined as a nodule measuring less than or equal to 1 cm. [41] 43% of all thyroid cancers and 50% of new cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma are papillary microcarcinoma.
Thyroid neoplasm is a neoplasm or tumor of the thyroid.It can be a benign tumor such as thyroid adenoma, [1] or it can be a malignant neoplasm (thyroid cancer), such as papillary, follicular, medullary or anaplastic thyroid cancer. [2]

Pap stain. A nuclear groove is an invagination of the nuclear envelope, in the longitudinal axis. [1] It can be present in:
Most are of papillary carcinoma type. Papillary thyroid carcinoma 3 mm or lager can be detected, and easily diagnosed using ultrasound-guided FNAC. A screening study for thyroid cancer on Japanese adult women using ultrasonography and ultrasound guided FNAC reported 3.5% of the subjects having small thyroid cancer. [4]
Histopathology of NIFTP, H&E stain. [1]Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) is an indolent thyroid tumor that was previously classified as an encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma, [2] necessitating a new classification as it was recognized that encapsulated tumors without invasion have an indolent behavior, [2] and may ...
A subsequent elevation of the thyroglobulin level is an indication of recurrence of papillary or follicular thyroid carcinoma. In other words, a rise in thyroglobulin levels in the blood may be a sign that thyroid cancer cells are growing and/or the cancer is spreading. [9]
