Pathology of the C cell has been extensively studied, and the preneoplastic nature of C-cell hyperplasia in the setting of familial medullary thyroid carcinomas is well established. However, the distinction between neoplastic and physiologic\/reactive C-cell hyperplasia remains a challenge. Unlike C cells, the existence of a precursor lesion of follicular cell\u2013derived tumors is less well established, and a dysplastic or preneoplastic follicular lesion has not been well defined.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective.\u2014<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To discuss putative precursor lesions in the thyroid arising from C cells and follicular epithelial cells.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Data Sources.\u2014<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data were obtained from a review of the pertinent peer-reviewed literature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions.\u2014<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although the preneoplastic nature of C-cell hyperplasia in the setting of familial medullary thyroid carcinoma is well recognized, the preneoplastic nature\/malignant potential of reactive\/physiologic C-cell hyperplasia and its role in the development of sporadic, medullary thyroid carcinoma is still unclear.
