Abstract

Thyroid cytology has in recent years been augmented by molecular testing for indeterminate lesions. Three commercial molecular tests are available which provide variable amounts of detail regarding the genetic alterations identified in a sample. This paper will describe these tests, as well as the common molecular drivers associated with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and follicular patterned lesions, in order to help the practicing pathologist and clinician better interpret the results of these tests and incorporate this information into their management of cytologically indeterminate thyroid lesions.
