The aim of the study was to analyze and estimate clinical and pathological features of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma concurrent with follicular thyroid adenoma. Our findings suggest PTMC accompanied by follicular thyroid adenoma to have a less aggressive biological behavior compared to pure PTMC that might be considered in routine clinical practice. Moreover, PTMC associated with follicular thyroid adenoma may have prognostic importance for closer and long-time follow up of patients.
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.
