Is patient age associated with risk of malignancy in a ≥4 cm cytologically benign thyroid nodule?

Whitney Sutton et al.

Summary: Patients under 55 years old with thyroid nodules >= 4 cm have a higher risk of malignancy and are more likely to have a benign FNAB biopsy misdiagnosis; ultrasound features and nodule size are not associated with the risk of malignancy.

Outcomes of the Bethesda system for reporting thyroid cytopathology: Real-life experience

Galit Avior et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the malignancy rate and test performance for BSRTC categories in a middle-sized institution outside the US, finding the highest malignancy rate in BSRTC III-VI. The best overall performance was achieved when grouping BSRTC V-VI together, with a substantial decrease in performance when adding BSRTC III-IV. Despite differences from reported 2017 BSRTC malignancy rates, the study supported the validity of the revised 2017 BSRTC management recommendations for thyroid nodules in smaller non-US centers.
