Abstract:
The cribriform-morular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (CMV-PTC) is an uncommon variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma. CMV-PTC can be associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), an autosomal-dominant polyposis syndrome caused by a mutation in the APC gene that leads to a disruption of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. Understanding the relation between CMV-PTC and FAP is a diagnostic tool for both pathologists and clinicians, because FAP has several implications for patients and their families.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...
