THYROID FOLLICULAR ADENOMA: BENIGN OR MALIGNANT?
Endocrinology

Original Research
Original Research
Four patients are described in whom a follicular carcinoma developed
following thyroidectomy for a benign follicular neoplasm. It is possible that
the initial thyroid neoplasm was a well- differentiated follicular carcinoma
which was microscopically indistinguishable from a benign adenoma.
Realizing this pathologic pitfall in thyroid diagnosis, the need for meticulous
examination of the pathologic specimen is emphasized. Long- term postoperative
reassessment is recommended.
