Of the nonmutated BRAF cases (42/56 cases, 75%) which were later found to be malignant on definitive histology (14 cases), 5 were follicular carcinomas (36%), 3 were incidentally found papillary microcarcinomas (22%), 2 were classic papillary carcinomas (14%), 1 was a follicular variant of papillary carcinomas (7%), 1 was a medullary carcinoma (7%), 1 was a Hurtle cell tumor (7%), and 1 as a combined cell carcinoma and papillary oncocytic carcinoma (7%) (Table 2). Here, BRAF is linked to medullary thyroid gland carcinoma.
