The clinicopathologic features of six cases of a peculiar variant of differentiated carcinoma of the thyroid composed of follicles with or without solid areas and having a characteristics ground-glass appearance of the nuclei were studied and compared with those of conventional papillary and follicular carcinomas. This variant resembled papillary carcinoma in its biologic behavior and all morphologic features with the exception that papillae were not present. The term "papillary carcinoma, follicular variant" is proposed for this tumor type in order to emphasize its close biologic relationship with the conventional papillary carcinoma.
对6例甲状腺分化癌特殊变异型的临床病理特征进行了研究，该变异型由有或无实性区域的滤泡组成，细胞核具有特征性的磨砂玻璃样外观，并与传统乳头状癌和滤泡状癌的特征进行了比较。除了没有乳头外，该变异型在生物学行为和所有形态学特征上类似于乳头状癌。为了强调这种肿瘤类型与传统乳头状癌密切的生物学关系，建议将其命名为“滤泡变异型乳头状癌”。
