Current RSSs show high performance in selecting FTCs for FNA. This result is mainly due to the dimensional RSSs cutoffs indicating FNA. On the contrary, given the reported unsuspicious echo-structural presentation of FTC and the recognized limitation of cytological assessment to detect it, caution is advised when using US to manage cytologically indeterminate nodules.
