Although some prognostic variables and risk factors for thyroid cancer (TC) are age-related, the association between age and the risk of TC in patients with thyroid nodules (TNs) assigned to atypia of undetermined significance (AUS) and follicular lesion of undetermined significance (FLUS) is poorly estimated. The aim of this study was to assess the histopathology of AUS/FLUS and the risk of TC according to the age of the patients at the time of AUS/FLUS diagnosis.
