Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary‐like nuclear features (NIFTP): A changing paradigm in thyroid surgical pathology and implications for thyroid cytopathology

Abstract

The change in the diagnosis of noninvasive encapsulated follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma to noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary‐like nuclear features (ie, not carcinoma) will have significant impact on the risk of malignancy for categories according to The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology, and especially for the indeterminate categories.
