“…CNB is a rapid and safe procedure with higher performance compared to FNAC in identifying the histotype CNB is a rapid and safe procedure with higher performance compared to FNAC in identifying the histotype of large and rapidly growing thyroid masses [ 35 , 39 , 40 ]. The identification of clonal Ig gene rearrangements allows a differential diagnosis between PTL and HT [ 39 , 40 ]. Homogeneous vascularized mass without calcification and cystic necrosis but with posterior acoustic enhancement are typical features of PTL compared to ATC [ 12 , 25 , 29 ] and MTT [ 13 , 14 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ].…”
