Abstract
This study suggests that in follicular lesions of the thyroid, a benign FNA biopsy report from an experienced cytopathologist has a high positive predictive value. The predictive value may not, however, be high enough to preclude surgery; other factors may need to be considered before recommending a nonoperative approach.
