Indeterminate thyroid cytology (Bethesda III and IV) corresponds to follicular-patterned
benign and malignant lesions, which are particularly difficult to differentiate on cytology …

Purpose To assess the accuracy and reproducibility of ultrasonography classification
systems in characterizing cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules. Methods We …

Simple Summary The risk of thyroid malignancy assessment may include certain ultrasound
features. The analysis is lacking for the differentiation of follicular thyroid adenomas and …

Background The cytological diagnosis of follicular neoplasm (Thy3F) remains a diagnostic
challenge. The main aim of this study was to stratify the risk of malignancy in thyroid nodules …

Recently, the core needle biopsy (CNB) has been proposed as a complementary test for
thyroid nodules with inconclusive cytology by fine-needle aspiration (FNA). However, there …

Background Various combinations of ultrasonographic (US) characteristics are increasingly
utilized to classify thyroid nodules. But they lack theories, and heavily depend on …

Hypoechogenicity has been described qualitatively and is potentially subject to intra-and
inter-observer variability. The aim of this study was to clarify whether quantitative echoic …

Background The pre-surgical selection of thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytology (Thy 3
according to British Thyroid Association) after fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is …

Background Identification of the best management strategy for nodules with Thy3 cytology
presents particular problems for clinicians. This study investigates the ability of clinical …

Objective High body mass index (BMI) has been found to be associated with raised thyroid
