Italian Consensus for the Classification and Reporting of Thyroid Cytology

This updated edition of the Italian Consensus for Classification and Reporting of Thyroid Cytology (ICCRTC) integrates the evolution in the field of thyroid pathology and the new approaches in the management of thyroid diseases.

This updated edition of the Italian Consensus for Classification and Reporting of Thyroid Cytology (ICCRTC) integrates the evolution in the field of thyroid pathology and the new approaches in the management of thyroid diseases. The five categories defined in the 2014 Consensus edition, with the separation of indeterminate nodules into TIR3A and TIR3B subcategories, are retained due to their effective stratification of malignancy risk.  The 2024 Consensus update has been developed by pathologists and endocrinologists with recognised expertise in thyroid disease and has been endorsed by their respective scientific societies: Società Italiana di Anatomia Patologica e Citologia Diagnostica (SIAPeC-IAP), Associazione Italiana Tiroide (AIT), Associazione Medici Endocrinologi (AME), Società Italiana di Endocrinologia (SIE).  This book includes chapters on sampling techniques, ultrasound imaging, molecular testing, oncocytes and translatability between major reporting systems. Enhanced with videos of WSI from cytology slides explaining morphological criteria for category selection, and with interactive self-assessment flashcards, this book will help pathologists to report thyroid cytology diagnoses, and endocrinologists to correctly interpret cytology reports for patient management.
