Thyroid lesions of neuroendocrine origin? Thinking of a “polka‐dotted” zebra! Case series from three Italian referral centers and review of the literature

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, EarlyView.
Thyroid metastases from neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) should be considered in case of suspicious thyroid nodules in patients with a positive medical history of NEN, mainly of thoracic origin, even after many years from the initial diagnosis. The differential diagnosis from primary intrathyroidal NEN is challenging.
