A retrospective analysis of 183 papillary thyroid carcinomas was made in order to assess the prognostic factors related to survival. The following factors were found to adversely affect the prognosis: trabecular subtype of papillary carcinoma, the extent of the primary tumour, regional lymph node involvement, the presence of distant metastases, old age, male sex and the extent of the neck dissection. The presence of the follicular variant of papillary carcinoma and the extent of the thyroidectomy did not influence the prognosis. The trabecular subtype of papillary carcinoma is characterized by a trabecular or solid arrangement of follicular cells with nuclei of ground-glass appearance. Univariate and multivariate analysis indicated that patients with this type of thyroid tumour had a poorer prognosis than those with the well-differentiated or follicular variants of papillary carcinoma. In our opinion the trabecular subtype of papillary carcinoma should be included as a separate entity in the WHO classification of thyroid tumours.
