Navigating Diagnostic Uncertainty in Thyroid Nodules: The Critical Role of Cytology and Histology in Oncocytic and Rare Patterned Lesions

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytological features, emphasising the complementary roles of fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) cytology and histology. Through a detailed evaluation of a trabecular adenoma misclassified as oncocytic, the study underscores the importance of thorough histological assessment to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure accurate clinical management.
