Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary ‐like nuclear features: An interobserver study of key cytomorphological features from a large academic medical centre

ConclusionsThe current study supports the reproducibility of our previous findings. The high level of agreement amongst pathologists for these groups, and particularly the NIFTP group, supports the notion that when viewed in combination as a cytological profile, these cytomorphological features may assist the cytopathologist in raising the possibility of NIFTP preoperatively. This can potentially aid clinicians in deciding whether more conservative treatment may be appropriate.
