Macrofollicular variant of follicular thyroid carcinoma: a rare, underappreciated pitfall in the diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma.
CONCLUSIONS: Similar to the classical minimally invasive FTC, MV-FTC appears to behave indolently. MV-FTC has a high rate of false-negative FNAC results, but MV-FTC is very rare (<0.05% of all thyroidectomies) and apparently has an indolent behavior. Further studies comprising larger series are necessary to better clarify the biology of this diagnostically challenging rare tumor.
