In pathology, papillary refers to a nipple-like projection with a fibrovascular core.
Papillary pattern redirects here.
General
- Common histomorphologic pattern that is seen in a large number of contexts.
Microscopy
Histologic definition - papilla:
- Nipple-shaped structure consisting of epithelium on a fibrovascular core.
- Fibrovascular core = fibrous tissue + least one blood vessel.
Note:
- May be associated with psammoma bodies.
DDx:
- Micropapilla - nipple-shaped structure without blood vessels; usually smaller than papillae.
- Pseudopapilla - cells distant from the blood vessels undergo necrosis imparting a papillary-like appearance, e.g. solid pseudopapillary tumour.
