| Abstract |
The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (BSRTC) created a new diagnostic category,follicular lesion/atypia of undetermined significance(FLUS/AUS). The recommended management of FLUS/AUS lesions is repeat biopsy to re-classify the lesion and guide therapy. Prior surgical studies suggest a higher than expected malignancy rate for FLUS/AUS. The present study evaluates a large institutional experience with all FLUS/AUS lesions analyzing use and impact of repeat biopsy. |
