A member asked:

Several clusters of bland-looking and mitotically inactive follicular cells with early hurthle cell metaplasia are also present. is it thyroid cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Occassional bland cells and especially mitotially inactive follicular cells with some metaplasia usually spells benign lesion. Would be of value to know if the lesion is hot or cold. A hot lesion by definition is benign and a cold, non functional lesion is usually malignant. Lesion should be watched with a later date scan and possible reconsider bx for dx.
