Definition:
Papillary carcinoma is the more commonly-found and well-differentiated cancer of the thyroid. Papillary/follicular carcinoma should be considered a variant of the papillary thyroid carcinoma (mixed form). Despite its well-differentiated traits, papillary carcinoma may be overtly or minimally invasive. In fact, these tumors may spread easily to other organs inside the body. Papillary carcinoma appears as an irregularly-shaped solid or cystic mass in a normal thyroid parenchyma.
