Some papillary carcinomas composed of oncocytic cells have a pronounced stromal chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate. These lesions resemble Warthin’s tumour of the salivary glands and therefore have been called “Warthin-like tumour of the thyroid”. They harbour the characteristic nuclear atypia of papillary carcinoma. Unlike the true Warthin’s tumour, these thyroid neoplasms have malignant potential.
