abstract: Despite several extensive reviews of the literature within the past decade, the treatment of oxyphil cell tumors of the thyroid gland remains controversial. The foremost questions today concern the acceptable criteria for diagnosis of oxyphil malignancies and the appropriate surgical treatment of these neoplasms. This review provides a forum for debate on the treatment of oxyphil neoplasms, with emphasis on their unique histopathologic features and unpredictable clinical behavior.
