Diagnosis of Follicular Neoplasm in Thyroid Nodules by Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology

Abstract

There was no difference in the likelihood of histologic malignancy between the cytologic subcategories of "definite "follicular neoplasm and "cannot rule out/possible" follicular neoplasm. We recommend that cytologic reports on fine needle aspiration of thyroid nodules with a diagnosis of follicular neoplasm reflect this fact.
