Thyroid nodules are a common source of diagnostic difficulties for practicing pathologists. The correct diagnosis of these nodules is often difficult given some of the controversies associated with their interpretation and evolving criteria for diagnosis.

In this CAPcast, Dr. Saul Suster discusses controversial areas in thyroid nodule interpretation and recent changes in terminology for papillary carcinoma. Dr. Suster will be teaching a course on this topic on Saturday, Sept. 21 at CAP19 in Orlando, Florida. For more information and to register for CAP19, visit www.capannualmeeting.org.
