High-Power Microscopic Examination of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Features
Thyroid Gland Histology Slide
This histology slide offers a detailed, high-power microscopic view of a papillary thyroid carcinoma. It prominently displays the characteristic papillary architecture, complete with well-defined fibrovascular cores. Key diagnostic cellular features are highlighted, including the elongated, oval nuclei, subtle nuclear grooves, and the distinctive optically clear nuclei, sometimes likened to 'Orphan Annie eye' nuclei. An inset further illustrates the presence of an intranuclear pseudoinclusion, which is another significant diagnostic marker for this specific thyroid malignancy.
