The cytological features of the hobnail variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma may be subtle. It is important to recognize this variant because it may influence the corresponding surgical treatment and follow-up due to its aggressive nature. The hobnail subtype of papillary thyroid carcinoma is a rare entity with aggressive features. It presents extrathyroidal extension or lymph nodal metastasis in a high percentage of the cases.

Article Synopsis
- * This review outlines the distinct cytological traits of multiple PTC subtypes, emphasizing the importance of recognizing them to identify more aggressive forms that are associated with worse prognoses.
- * It also discusses the potential of molecular testing to improve diagnosis and treatment, while stressing the need for better diagnostic techniques in the evaluation of thyroid cancer.

Epithelioid hemangioma (EH) is a rare angioproliferative disorder for which histopathology is the main approach to diagnosis. The tendency to recur is of concern to clinicians and patients. The factors associated with recurrence have been sporadically reported and a large-scale cohort study has been lacking.

The prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is highly dependent on gene mutations and pathologic features.The common gene mutations in PTC include BRAF V600E,RET/PTC rearrangement,and RAS mutations.These mutations have been suggested to be associated with an increased risk of recurrence,poorer efficacy of postoperative radioactive iodine therapy,and reduced survival.

Article Synopsis
- Molecular testing of thyroid nodules helps identify genetic changes that can indicate the risk of cancer aggressiveness and behavior.
- The study looked at patients from 2017 to 2024, focusing on those with specific mutations and analyzing their association with aggressive thyroid cancer types.
- Results showed that patients with both TEL mutations and concurrent alterations were more likely to have high-risk features and aggressive cancer forms, while TEL mutations alone showed a tendency for less aggressive behavior.

The prognosis of thyroid cancer in patients varies significantly based on different pathological types or distinct clinical situations. Investigating the expression of immune checkpoint molecules PD-L1 and B7-H3 in high-risk thyroid cancer and their correlation with clinicopathological features and prognosis will contribute to the development of novel therapeutic strategies. A retrospective sample of 202 patients with thyroid cancer who underwent surgery at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences was collected, including 33 cases of anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC), 21 cases of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) with distant metastasis (DM), 7 cases of differentiated high-grade thyroid carcinoma (DHGTC), and 109 cases of aggressive subtypes of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) (including 28 cases of tall cell PTC, 31 cases of diffuse sclerosing PTC, 20 cases of solid PTC, 15 cases of columnar cell PTC, and 15 cases of hobnail PTC).
