The Gray Zone in Thyroid Nodules: Atypia of Undetermined Significance/Follicular Lesion with Unknown Significance
Major purpose of the management of thyroid nodules is to distinguish between malignant nodules and the benign ones. Nodules with the cytology result Atypia of Undetermined Signifi cance or Follicular Lesion of Undetermined Signifi cance are still a diagnostic challenge. Initial presentation of the Bethesda System was based on 7% diagnosing rate and around 5-15% malignancy rate for these nodules...
متن کاملFollicular Lesion of Undetermined Significance in Thyroid FNA--How Is It Used? Implications of the Proposed Thyroid Fine-Needle Aspiration Category of "Follicular Lesion of Undetermined Significance":
Background: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is the current standard for triaging patients with thyroid nodules into operative and nonoperative therapy. In 2007, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) held a Thyroid FNA State of the Science Conference, where a 6-tiered classification system was proposed to standardize reporting of thyroid FNA results.

متن کاملAtypia of Undetermined Significance/Follicular Lesion of Undetermined Significance (AUS/FLUS): Interpretation and Algorithm for Follow-Up
The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytology (TBSRTC) has proven to be an effective and robust thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA) classification scheme to guide the clinical treatment of patients with thyroid nodules. However, a tendency of increasing diagnosis of atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS) is observed. This is commensur...
متن کاملThyroid atypia of undetermined significance or follicular lesion of undetermined significance: an indispensable Bethesda 2010 diagnostic category or waste garbage?
OBJECTIVE The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (BSRTC) was introduced in thyroid cytology in 2007 and is now generally accepted. BSRTC categories include a morphologic description and risk of malignancy as well as follow-up suggestions in each group. However, the category entitled 'atypia of undetermined significance or follicular lesion of undetermined significance' (AUS/FLU...
متن کاملGroup consensus review minimizes the diagnosis of "follicular lesion of undetermined significance" and improves cytohistologic concordance.
We conducted a group consensus review of thyroid aspirates that were previously interpreted as "atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance" (AUS/FLUS) and followed by surgical interventions. The study aimed to investigate if consensus review would minimize the diagnosis of AUS/FLUS with an optimal interobserver agreement and also promote a better cytohist...
