title: Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of a papillary thyroid carcinoma involved by malignant plasma cell disease: a case report.
abstract: We described the fine-needle aspiration biopsy findings in a case of papillary thyroid carcinoma involved by a malignant plasma cell disease of the thyroid gland in a 54-year-old female. Although papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the thyroid gland, involvement by plasma cell disease is exceptionally unusual.
