AI Article Synopsis
- Follicular adenomas with papillary architecture are rare thyroid tumors that are fully encapsulated and lack the cancerous nuclear traits found in papillary carcinoma.
- A case study highlights a 70-year-old woman with a painless submandibular mass; surgical analysis revealed it was a follicular adenoma with papillary architecture instead of a malignant tumor.
- The findings underscore the importance of considering follicular adenoma in the diagnosis of tumors originating from ectopic thyroid tissue.
Article Abstract
Background: Follicular adenomas with papillary architecture are rare tumors of thyroid origin and are composed of completely encapsulated follicular cells with a papillary architecture lacking the nuclear characteristics of papillary carcinoma. Herein, we present a case of follicular adenoma with papillary architecture originating from an ectopic thyroid gland, diagnosed from a mass in the submandibular region.
Case Presentation: A 70-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with the chief complaint of a painless left submandibular mass that had been present for one year. The patient underwent left submandibular dissection for therapy and diagnosis. Microscopically, papillary lesions with fibrovascular cores were observed in the interior, and the epithelial cells were cylindrical in shape with eosinophilic cytoplasm, round or oval nuclei, with no pathological features, leading to a diagnosis of papillary carcinoma or follicular carcinoma. The mass was diagnosed as a follicular thyroid adenoma with papillary architecture. This is the first report of a follicular adenoma with a papillary architecture originating from an ectopic thyroid gland.
Conclusion: This experience suggests that follicular adenoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of ectopic thyroid tumors.

Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma (CCPRCC) was included as a separate entity in the World Health Organisation classification of renal tumours in 2016. Immuno-histopathological and genetic characteristics are much known, but still, clinical features and long-term follow-up require more consolidated data. We report three cases of CCPRCC, detected in different clinical settings.

Background: Central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) significantly influences surgical decision-making strategies.
Objectives: This study aims to develop a predictive model for CLNM in PTC patients using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinicopathological data.
Methods: By incorporating deep learning (DL) algorithms, the model seeks to address the challenges in diagnosing CLNM and reduce overtreatment.

Idiopathic gingival papillokeratosis with crypt formation (IGPC) is a new and a very rare benign entity, clinically characterized by white-yellowish plaques with papillary architecture located in the upper labial gingiva of adolescent patients. The condition generally exhibits a bilateral symmetrical distribution and is asymptomatic. We report two new cases, one with a classic presentation and the other in an older individual.

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.
