    Notes: Abstract  We report a case of the tall call variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma with foci of columnar cell component in a 67-year-old Japanese man. Tall cell variant occupied more than 70% of the tumour, and columnar cell component was of two types in representative sections. One showed striking stratification of nuclei with scanty cytoplasm, and the other appeared clear. Characteristic nuclear features of papillary carcinoma were also observed in the area of the tall cell variant. The patient died of the thyroid cancer with aspiration pneumonia 10 years and 6 months after operation. Although autopsy was not performed, metastatic lymph nodes of the neck removed during life also showed papillary carcinoma with both tall cell and columnar cell components. Our case indicates that tall cell and columnar cell variants may coexist in the same tumour although the pathogenesis remains unclear.

    Notes: Abstract  We report a case of a parasitic nodule of the thyroid in a patient with Graves’ disease, which mimicked a lymph node metastasis from a primary occult thyroid carcinoma. The patient was a 67-year-old Japanese woman with a past history of subtotal thyroidectomy for Graves’ disease, who was referred to our hospital because of a right cervical mass. A lymph node-like lesion measuring 1.5 cm in diameter was palpable, distinct from the remnant of the right thyroid lobe. Thyroid scintigraphy using 123I-Na revealed a hot lesion at the upper lateral portion of the right thyroid lobe, and this was resected. Microscopically, the mass showed thyroid follicles with lymphocytic infiltration and lymphoid follicles. Clear ground glass nuclei, nuclear grooving and intranuclear inclusions were not observed. No morphological evidence of the lymph node was found in the mass by reticulin staining. Parasitic nodules of the thyroid in patients with Graves’ disease may mimic a metastatic carcinoma of the thyroid.
