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