Abstract
Neoplastic disease accounts for two thirds of the pathology in patients with a predominance of Hürthle cells on FNAB specimen and neither clinical nor cytologic features reliably exclude Hürthle cell adenoma or carcinoma. As a result, thyroidectomy is recommended for all patients with a thyroid nodule and a predominance of Hürthle cells on FNAB specimen.
