Figure 4. A high-power photomicrograph of the histopathology features of a papillary carcinoma within thyroglossal duct cyst in a 46-year-old man with an incidental finding of a papillary thyroid carcinoma. The histology shows the cytological appearances of the cells of the intraductal tumor, which show blue cytoplasm and nuclei with prominent nucleoli. The tumor cell has a papillary formation but without invasion into the cyst wall. Small foci of microcalcification are seen (blue). There are few mitoses and no necrosis. The appearances are consistent with a papillary thyroid carcinoma. Hematoxylin and eosin; magnification ×60.
