hello,
looks like any papillary carcinoma will have them, these are the ones i know :roll: ,do some research on these.... pliz let me know what you eventually come up with.

papillary carcinoma of thyroid,

NEURILEMONA..(inheited psammomatousmelanotic variant),


MENINGIOMA--Although not prominent, whorls are present (calcified whorls are termed psammoma bodies).

Borderline OVARIAN tumors......... are a subset of epithelial ovarian tumors that have a very favorable prognosis. .....Psammoma bodies, cellular atypia, and desmoplastic fibrosis are observed in some instances

PAPILLARY ADENOCARCINOMA..of the sigmoid colon...

  #4

I thought the question asked about malignancies...
Meningioma, i agree, can be aggressively invasive, but neurilemoma is benign schwannoma.
I am not sure about ALL papillary carcinomas having psammoma bodies as a permanent feature...

  #5

ok, will go look it up
