Endocrine atypia refers to nuclear atypia seen in normal and benign endocrine organs.
As nuclear atypia is considered a benign finding in endocrine organs, malignant diagnoses can be challenging or near impossible to render in these organs.[1]
Malignant diagnoses can be especially challenging in the:
- Adrenal gland - see pheochromocytoma.
- Parathyroid gland - see parathyroid carcinoma.
