The hobnail variation of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is an uncommon, aggressive variety with hobnail characteristics on more than 30% of the tumour cells. Because of the entity's rarity, the clinical behaviour and pathologic characteristics of these tumours are still unknown. The purpose of this case study was to look at the cytologic, clinical, and pathological aspects of the hobnail variant of PTC, because of its severe clinicopathologic features and poor outcome, the unusual hobnail type of PTC may necessitate more aggressive treatment than traditional PTCs.

This variant is characterized by its unique cellular morphology with a hobnail appearance, that is, cells with apically positioned nuclei. There are other characteristics like micropapillary pattern and loss of cohesiveness of cells, which are indicative of HVPTC.
