The topics of the program were chosen by an informal poll of members, a review of the programs from recent meetings, and consultations with current and past office bearers of the society, based upon the recent advances and difficulties in classification in selected thyroid follicular cell tumors. This symposium highlights problematic diagnostic areas in the diagnosis of encapsulated follicular cell tumors, benign and malignant, sporadic and familial. There will be an initial discussion on the significance of capsule of follicular cell tumors, on malignant follicular cell-derived tumors from the morphology to the new molecular aspects, on familial follicular cell tumors including classification and morphological characteristics to genetic aspects of encapsulated ollicular cell tumors. The objective of the program is to update general surgical pathologists to recognize important diagnostic, clinicopathologic, and molecular features in selected and difficult thyroid follicular cell tumors.
