Comments
The tall cell variant of papillary carcinoma carries more aggressive behavior and poor nuclear features as well as common nuclear stratifiction. In this case, the cytoplasm is abundant eosinophilic, the nuclear features are well evident and the cells don't appear tall.
Thank you
Some of tumor cells look not tall.
It shows papillary carcinoma of thyroid gland.
