Impact of Noninvasive Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm With Papillary-Like Features on Adequacy Criteria and Risk of Malignancy of Thyroid Fine-Needle Aspiration.

Conclusions: With NIFTP, reducing the threshold for adequacy from 60 to 10 cells led to nonsignificant decrease in the risk of malignancy of a benign diagnosis (2.4% to 2.3%). Thyroid fine-needle aspirates with 10 to 60 benign cells without atypia or Hürthle cell change should be diagnosed as benign. PMID: 28821191 [PubMed - in process]
