Abstract
Non-invasive Follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary like nuclear features (NIFTP) is a newer addition in WHO 2017 blue book of endocrine neoplasm and has an indolent behavior. We present a case of a 30 years old female who presented with neck swelling slightly left to the midline. On USG a solitary nodule was identified in left lobe of thyroid with TIRADS5. On FNA a cytological diagnosis of papillary neoplasm was given and she underwent left lobectomy post which she was given histopathological diagnosis of NIFTP. It is a difficult entity to diagnose on FNA / biopsy until the entire nodule is submitted along with the capsule so overdiagnosis and over treatment is a risk.
