Abstract
Follicular lesions of the thyroid encompass a wide spectrum of diseases with clinicopathologic overlap, including benign follicular adenoma, malignant follicular carcinoma, and follicular variant of papillary cancer. This review addresses the clinical presentation, preoperative diagnosis in the era of molecular markers, pathologic diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of follicular lesions, taking into account the frequent controversy about definitive histologic diagnoses.Entities:
