Article Description

The term noninvasive tumor with a follicular growth pattern and nuclear features of papillary thyroid cancer (NIFTP) is used to describe a tumor currently considered as a pre-malignant lesion for which a conservative therapeutic approach (i.e., lobectomy without radioiodine therapy) is strongly suggested. However, some patients with NIFTP and loco-regional or distant metastases have been already reported. We present an adult male patient with a final histological diagnosis of NIFTP and lymph node metastasis noted at post-therapy whole-body scintigraphy performed some days after radioiodine therapy.
