The inclusion of the less aggressive follicular form of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is associated with an increase in the incidence of the condition, with the follicular variant of PTC being the most common of all variants. The majority of individuals with the encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (EFVPTC) are treated as though they have classic thyroid cancer, despite the availability of mounting evidence to contradict the aforementioned. According to numerous research, a certain type of noninvasive- EFVPTC (NI-EFVPTC) demonstrated poor histopathologic diagnostic reproducibility and has received aggressive treatment similar to that of a classical thyroid neoplasm. Therefore, to replace the term NIEFVPC, a new nomenclature for these tumors, called "noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear characteristics" (NIFTP), was introduced in the year 2016. The present paper explores this recently introduced terminology, clinical, histologic, and molecular features, and diagnostic criteria.
