Preoperative Cytologic Diagnosis of Noninvasive Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm with Papillary-Like Nuclear Features: A Prospective Analysis

Abstract

In thyroid FNAs with cytologic features concerning for PTC, NIFTP/FVPTC can be distinguished from cPTC in most cases by assessing a limited number of features. Therefore, it is both feasible and appropriate to attempt to separate NIFTP/FVPTC from cPTC on FNA to promote appropriate clinical management.
