  Purpose: Oncocytic cell tumors, due to historical and clinical reasons, tend to be put in a higher risk category compared with other cell type tumors. We tried to define the malignancy risk for this entity. Methods: At our institution, we studied the risk of malignancy associated with a cohort of 107 thyroid nodules aspirates containing oncocytic cells in the cytology report and we have further analyzed other clinical factors. Results: A tendency for higher risk of malignancy in male sex was found (31.3% vs. 15.4% in women), the difference, however, was not statistically significant (P = 0.291). Total thyroidectomy was the preferred surgical approach and only 10.3% of patients were submitted to lobectomy. Histopathology reports documented 46.7% hyperplastic/adenomatoid nodules, 31.8% adenomas, 12.1% papillary carcinoma.. Read More»
