DICER1 germline mutations cause DICER1 syndrome, in which multinodular goitre is a common feature. Recently, somatic DICER1 mutations have been reported in sporadic thyroid carcinomas, of which the newly described macrofollicular variant of follicular thyroid carcinoma (MV‐FTC) seems particularly enriched for this aberrancy. We report here histological and genetic findings in five follicular thyroid tumours with macrofollicular architecture (four carcinomas and one adenoma).
