Abstrakt		Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with exuberat nodular fasciitis-like stroma (PTC-ES) is a new morphologic variant of conventional PTC. It is characterized by extensive reactive stromal proliferation, which may occupy 60-80% of the tumor. Case: A 42-years-old female developed a tender, left-sided thyroid mass. The fine needle aspiration biopsy specimen contained, besides diagnostic epithelial features of PTC, many cohesive tissue fragments of cellular stroma. Conclusion: A correct cytopathologic diagnosis of PTC-ES can be established if both epithelial and stromal components are present in needle aspirates.
