Follicular neoplasm

Suspicious for follicular neoplasm. (Category IV)
 
Moderately cellular aspirate.
 
Follicular cells with a predominantly microfollicular and syncytial architecture, scattered isolated cells, and colloid.  Correlation of cytological findings with radiological and clinical findings is warranted. 

Insufficient

Right Thyroid, FNA: Non-diagnostic. (Category I)
 
Specimen processed and examined, but unsatisfactory due to insufficient material.
Mainly blood noted with rare groups of follicular cells.
 
Note: A repeat aspiration should be considered if clinically warranted.

Right Thyroid, FNA: Benign. (Category II)

Scant aspirate.

Benign-appearing follicular cells, colloid, and occasional Hurthle cells,
suggestive of a benign follicular nodule.
