Description: Lymph node with metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (middle/bottom of image). The papillary thyroid carcinoma (thyroid cancer) shown here has the classically described appearance (papillary architecture -- papillae with fibrovascular cores). The diagnostic nuclear features for papillary thyroid carcinoma (nuclear inclusions, nuclear grooves, nuclear clearing, overlap of nuclear membranes/crowding) are present but not seen well at this magnification. The lymph node has several germinal centers (left, top/right of image). Adipose tissue (fat) is seen at the edge of the image (bottom and left).
