Abstract:
The authors present two cases of a new variant of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland with an unusual lipomatous component. The first case occurred in a 50-year-old woman: the thyroid gland showed lipomatous foci in the stroma of the papillary carcinoma. The second case occurred in a 38-year-old man with the same lipomatous component appearing in small foci. In both cases, the lipomatous tissue was found within the stroma. As far as we known, there are only tree other reports of this type of thyroid gland carcinoma in the literature.
