Abstract

Non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like features (NIFTP) is a benign thyroid lesion without recurrence or distant metastasis. The management of NIFTP can be partial or total thyroidectomy, which is sufficient to provide a perfect cure rate. Most cases of NIFTP were found in adults and few cases were found in children. In this case report, we present a case of NIFTP in a 13-year-old child. This case report also adds a new case of NIFTP in the pediatric age group with bilateral nodule characteristics without nodule invasion and no recurrence until the last examination, recommending less aggressive management.
