Summary
Thyroid follicular nodular disease with solid/trabecular components may have malignant potential. This case suggests these components could be precursors to aggressive thyroid cancer, necessitating further study.
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Thyroid follicular nodular disease (TFND) can present with a rare nodule-in-nodule (NN) appearance.
- The solid/trabecular components (STc) within NN exhibit aggressive histological features, but their clinical significance is not well understood.
