Malignancy is in the eye of the beholder: Pathologic diagnosis of challenging follicular neoplasms in the era of noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasms with papillary-like nuclear features and immunohistochemical and molecular adjuncts

Classification of thyroid follicular neoplasms can be challenging for pathologists. Introduction of noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasms with papillary-like nuclear features, the utilization of immunohistochemistry, and molecular analysis are all thought to be valuable diagnostic adjuncts. Our aim was to determine whether interobserver variability for follicular neoplasms has improved since the application of these adjuncts.
