Overview
Thyroid nodule differential diagnosis
In rare cases, a thyroid nodule may reflect one of the hereditary nonmedullary thyroid cancer syndromes such as familial adenomatous polyposis, Werner’s syndrome, Carney complex type 1, or Gardner’s syndrome

The nuclei are large, oval, and appear crowded and overlapping on microscopic sections. They may contain hypodense powdery chromatin, cytoplasmic pseudoinclusions due to a redundant nuclear membrane, or nuclear grooves. |
