The main problem encountered in thyroid nodule is difficult to differentiate between a benign and malignant lesion. Differential between follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) and benign follicular thyroid adenoma (FTA) is a great challenge for even an experienced pathologist and requires special effort.A total of 120 paraffin block were included in the study, 30 blocks were (FC), 30 blocks were (FVPC). 30 blocks were (FA), 30 blocks were blocks thyroid follicular hyperplasia.20 blocks endocervical epithelium.20 paraffin blocks of colonic epithelium as control. From each paraffin block, 4 slides, each of thicken were taken, stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) for revision of histopathological diagnosis.The histological arrangement in follicular carcinoma and follicular adenoma was significant (P= 0.001) in trabecular pattern and the difference was significant (P= 0.016) in mixed pattern while no significance with microfollicular, macrofollicular and normofollicular pattern in both follicular carcinoma and adenoma. There was no significant difference in size follicular lesion among FA, FVPC and follicular hyperplasia (P> 0.05) while, the size follicular lesion in of (FC) was significantly higher from all other groups (P< 0.05).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
