The new term NIFTP (noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary‐like nuclear features) for some thyroid tumors poses significant challenges for cytopathologists. This commentary represents a provisional approach to NIFTP that others may consider adopting and that will hopefully prompt further discussion and research on how NIFTP should fit into future cytology practice.
