Abstract

The guideline describes in detail all the basic methods of modern laboratory diagnosis of thyroid neoplasms. Significant changes in the diagnostic concept are discussed and the updated histological classification of thyroid neoplasms and the Bethesda cytological classification are analyzed. New technologies and promising areas of the laboratory service for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid tumors are also considered. The guideline provides examples of cytological and histological diagnosis of various neoplasms of the thyroid gland, including rare forms of tumors. The guideline is intended for use by endocrinologists, specialists in clinical laboratory diagnostics, pathologists and general practitioners.
