Abstract :
Worldwide, thyroid cancers are the most common type of endocrine-related cancers.
Papillary carcinoma accounts for the most frequent type of thyroid malignancy. A rare
variant of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid is the cribriform-morular variant. We report
a case of solitary, cribriform-morularvariant of papillary carcinoma in a 55-year-old
lady. It is important to identify this variant because of a better prognosis compared to
the other aggressive variants and poorly differentiated thyroid cancers. Multifocal
cribriform-morular variant of papillary carcinoma may be the first manifestation of
familial adenomatous polyposis.
