Atypia of undetermined significance on thyroid fine needle aspiration: surgical outcome and risk factors for malignancy
PURPOSE This study was performed to analyze the surgical pathology results of the "atypia of undetermined significance" (AUS) category from thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA) and to describe the characteristics to distinguish a malignant from a benign nodule. METHODS A retrospective analysis was done on 116 patients who underwent thyroid surgery from December 2008 to December 2012, followin...
متن کاملRole of Core Needle Biopsy in the Management of Atypia/Follicular Lesion of Undetermined Significance Thyroid Nodules: Comparison with Repeat Fine-Needle Aspiration in Subcategory Nodules.
BACKGROUND The role of repeat fine-needle aspiration (RFNA) or core needle biopsy (CNB) has not been established in nodules categorized as atypia/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS). OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to retrospectively determine whether CNB is more useful for management decisions than RFNA at each subcategory of AUS/FLUS nodules. METHODS This stu...
متن کاملThe 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. One category, designated "follicular lesion of und...
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...
