RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Our approach to follicular-patterned lesions of the thyroid JF Journal of Clinical Pathology JO J Clin Pathol FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd and Association of Clinical Pathologists SP 244 OP 250 DO 10.1136/jcp.2006.038604 VO 60 IS 3 A1 Zubair W Baloch A1 Virginia A LiVolsi YR 2007 UL http://jcp.bmj.com/content/60/3/244.abstract AB Follicular-patterned lesions of the thyroid are common; these include hyperplastic/adenomatoid nodules, follicular adenoma, follicular carcinoma and follicular variants of papillary carcinoma. Most of these lesions can be diagnosed with ease; however, there is a controversial subgroup. In this review, we present our diagnostic approach based on our experience with the histological diagnosis of these tumours, which can help in appropriate clinical management.
