Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma With Lymphoepithelial Features and Lacking Association With Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV): A Rare Case.
Overview
abstract
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common primary thyroid malignancy. PTC is diagnosed based on its hallmark nuclear characteristics, but a myriad of histological variants has been identified some of which can be diagnostically challenging due to its rarity and overlapping histomorphology with other entities. We report a rare variant of PTC with lymphoepithelial features which lacked association with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). In such cases, a thorough workup to rule out metastasis from other sites should be undertaken.
