Immunohistochemistry Helps to Distinguish Noninvasive Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm with Papillary-like Nuclear Features/Noninvasive Encapsulated Follicular Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma with Other Follicular Thyroid Lesions
<i>Background and Objectives:</i> We aimed to assess the diagnostic value of various immunohistochemical (IHC) markers and panels for differentiation among benign follicular nodules (BFNs), noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasms with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTPs), noninvasiv...

In differentiating IFVPTCs from BFNs and NIFTPs/NEFVPTCs, galectin-3 and TROP-2 were the markers with the highest sensitivity plus high specificity, respectively. In various combinations, panel co-expression of two markers, including galectin-3 and/or HBME-1 and/or TROP-2, and the combination of galectin-3 and TROP-2 co-expression could achieve 100% in all aspects. In terms of discrimination of BFNs from NIFTP/NEFVPTC, CK19 was the single most sensitive marker (81.3%), while CD56 was the most specific (100%). The panel consisting of CK19 and/or HBME-1 exhibited the greatest sensitivity (96.9%), but the panel with CD56 and/or HBME-1 exhibited the greatest specificity (90.5%). <i>Conclusions:</i> Our results broaden the use of IHC markers for differential diagnoses among the four groups of follicular-based lesions.
