Managing thyroid nodules diagnosed cytologically as follicular neoplasms (FN) is challenging for patients and clinicians. Gene panel testing was recently introduced to determine the management strategy for FN; however, it is unavailable in Japan. In this study, we assessed FN management.

Article Synopsis
  • * In a study of 84 minimally invasive follicular and oncocytic thyroid carcinomas, TERT promoter mutations were found in 11.9% of cases, with mutated tumors associated with older patient age but no other significant clinical differences.
  • * Although TERT mutations did not correlate with poor clinical outcomes, reflex testing for these mutations may be beneficial for risk assessment in low-risk tumors, despite the unclear clinical advantage.

The latest edition of the WHO Classification of thyroid tumors was released in 2022 and incorporates novel concepts vital to patient management. Thyroid follicular nodular disease is a term used to collectively represent a wide variety of benign and non-neoplastic lesions, including both clonal and non-clonal proliferations that manifest clinically as multinodular goiter. Thyroid neoplasms develop from follicular cells and can be either benign, low-risk, or malignant.

In 2022, the new WHO Classification of Endocrine and Neuroendocrine Tumors, Fifth Edition (beta version) (WHO 5th), was published. Large-scale genomic analyses such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) have revealed the importance of understanding the molecular genetics of thyroid tumors. Consequently, the WHO 5th was fundamentally revised, resulting in a systematic classification based on the cell of origin of tumors and their clinical risk.

Purpose: The occurrence and histopathological features of incidental thyroid carcinoma (ITC) vary considerably among populations from different geographical regions. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence and histopathological characteristics of ITC in patients who underwent thyroid surgery for apparently benign thyroid diseases in an endemic goiter area in Italy.

Methods: A total of 649 consecutive patients (531 females and 118 males; mean age, 52.
