NCIt definition : A differentiated adenocarcinoma arising from the follicular cells of the thyroid gland.
Radiation exposure is a risk factor and it is the most common malignant thyroid lesion,
comprising 75% to 80% of all thyroid cancers in iodine sufficient countries. Diagnostic
procedures include thyroid ultrasound and fine needle biopsy. Microscopically, the
diagnosis is based on the distinct characteristics of the malignant cells, which include
enlargement, oval shape, elongation, and overlapping of the nuclei. The nuclei also
display clearing or have a ground glass appearance.;
