The presence of a whole tumor capsule in follicular cell-derived thyroid tumors is a strong
predictor of better outcome and importance. Particularly, the capsular infiltration has a …

Context Tumor capsule integrity is becoming a relevant issue to predict the biological
behavior of human tumors, including thyroid cancer. Objective This work aims to verify …

Background The increasing incidence of thyroid cancer is mainly due to increased detection
of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). The follicular variant of PTC (FVPTC) is composed of …

The prognosis of the encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (EFVPTC)
and its relationship to encapsulated follicular carcinoma (EFC) and follicular adenoma (FA) …

Background: Our previous retrospective study demonstrated that the absence of tumor
capsule or, if present, its invasion were independent risk factors for the persistence of the …

Context. Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP)
is an extremely indolent subset of noninvasive encapsulated follicular variant of papillary …

Objective To compare the clinicopathologic features of papillary thyroid carcinoma classic
variant (PTC-CV) and papillary thyroid carcinoma follicular variant (PTC-FV), with a focus on …

Encapsulated malignant follicular cell-derived thyroid tumors are subject to considerable
controversies. This group includes encapsulated follicular variant of papillary carcinoma …

The encapsulated follicular variant of papillary carcinoma has become one of the most
common diagnoses in thyroid tumor pathology. However, serious issues remain regarding …

Background: Recent studies have described an encapsulated and an infiltrative form of
follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (FVPTC). While encapsulated tumors have …
