Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary like-nuclear features is a proposed term for encapsulated thyroid tumours with papillary-like features. It is abbreviated NIFTP and pronounced nift-pee.
General
- Encapsulated thyroid tumours with nuclear papillary-like features have a good prognosis, and labelling them as cancer is probably not unwarranted.[1]
- Can only be diagnosed on excisional specimens where the entire tumour capsule is sampled.
