ABSTRACT
Minimally invasive follicular thyroid carcinoma (MIFTC) is a subtype of follicular thyroid carcinoma. The definition of MIFTC is somewhat confusing; as a result, diagnosis of MIFTC is difficult. MIFTC is known to have an excellent prognosis. Thus, no further treatment is usually required after diagnostic lobectomy. However, some patients with MIFTC experience distant metastasis after initial lobectomy. In this review, we will discuss the definition of MIFTC and risk factors of distant metastasis after initial lobectomy.
