Önemi Belirsiz Foliküler Lezyonda Malignitenin Prediktif Faktörleri

Follicular lesion of undetermined significance (FLUS) is defined in the same Group III with atypia according to Bethesda Classification but these subgroups have different malignancy rates and tumor characteristics studies. In this study, aim was evaluate preoperative clinicopathologic features patients cytological Category III/FLUS thyroid nodules. The 44 were divided into two groups based on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) results as benign (pB) malignant (pM) compared clinical, ultrasonographic findings FNAC groups. According univariate analyses presence hiopechogenicity microcalcification are found be significantly higher (p<0.05 for all). Also, microcalcifications (p=0.048), hypoechogenicity (p=0.014) independent risk factors logistic regression analysis. FLUS, it should remembered that incidence increases treatment considered forefront surgery instead recurrent ultrasonography, nuclear membrane irregularity FNAC.
