We think this is the right time to publish a book on rare tumours of the thyroid gland for a number of reasons.
The fourth edition of the WHO classification of thyroid tumours is scheduled to appear still in 2017 [1], 13 years after the third edition. During this period, it was possible to evaluate the relative frequency of the so-called rare tumours of the thyroid, to identify some new ones and to incorporate in the description of most of them, additional molecular data at both the immunohistochemical and the genetic level.
