Endocrine atypia in the thyroid. (WC/Nephron)

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:
