guys, I have harrison 16th edition, but I could not find anything related to this, in there. If you guys can pls let me know the page number( if anyone of you find anything there). But this presentation is explained under follicular adenoma in Harrison 14th edition ( someone who has 14th edition told me, page 2030 and 2031 ).
Please check this out.
Thanks.
