Higher Incidence of Tall Cell Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma in Graves' Disease

Abstract

The incidence of PTC in GD-positive patients is higher than that in GD-negative patients. Aggressive variants of PTC, such as the TCV, were more frequent in nodular micro-PTC. These findings suggest that prompt and meticulous evaluation of nodules in any patient with GD associated with nodular alterations must be considered.
