Endocrine atypia refers to nuclear atypia seen in normal and benign endocrine organs and is relatively common.[1]
As nuclear atypia is considered a benign finding in endocrine organs, malignant diagnoses can be challenging or near impossible to render in these organs.[2]
Malignant diagnoses can be especially challenging in the:
