description | BACKGROUND: Criteria for the preoperative diagnosis of non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) have not yet been confirmed. This study aimed to analyze differences in clinicopathological characteristics between follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (FVPTC) subtypes to determine which parameters are relevant in differentiating NIFTP from other variants. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the records of 199 patients with a preoperative diagnosis of FVPTC who underwent thyroid surgery at Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital (Seoul, Korea) from 2011 to 2015. Clinicopathological features were analyzed retrospectively via a complete review of medical charts and pathology reports of patients. RESULTS: The NIFTP and invasive encapsulated FVPTC (EFVPTC) groups showed relatively benign features, with a majority of the patients categorized as Bethesda category III (25.8% and 25.6%, respectively) or IV (34.8% and 30.2%, respectively), while the infiltrative FVPTC group showed more malignant features, with more patients categorized as category V (28.6%) or VI (47.6%) (p < 0.001). BRAF(V600E) mutations were significantly less prevalent in the NIFTP group (0%) and invasive EFVPTC group (4.7%) compared with the infiltrative FVPTC group (34.9%) (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that absence of BRAF(V600E) mutation (OR 20.311, p = 0.004) and lymph node metastasis (odds ratio 10.237, p = 0.004) were significantly associated with NIFTP. CONCLUSION: Although Bethesda category was a statistically significant factor in distinguishing FVPTC subtypes, it was not effective in conclusively distinguishing NIFTP and invasive EFVPTC. Absence of BRAF(V600E) mutation and lymph node metastasis are important features in distinguishing NIFTP from other subtypes. |
