Abstract:
Solitary thyroid nodule should raise a suspicion of malignancy, which is very common in middle-aged females. Papillary carcinoma thyroid is the most common thyroid malignancy. Warthin-like papillary carcinoma is one of its rare variants. It has a frequent association with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Here, we report a case of 43-year-old female who presented with swelling in the anterior aspect of neck for 1 month. Fine-needle aspiration cytology features were suggestive of papillary carcinoma thyroid and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Warthin-like papillary carcinoma thyroid. This variant is of great clinical and prognostic significance as it carries an excellent prognosis.

01:11Papillary 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.

The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...
