Inherited thyroid tumours are an important group which need clarification. This is partly because of the common use of the term Familial Non-Medullary Thyroid Cancer when some of the specific entities included under this heading really represent inherited benign tumours with a risk of progression to malignancy. The subject is briefly reviewed, and one syndromic and one non-syndromic type of inherited thyroid tumours of follicular cell origin discussed in more detail to emphasise the point that each of these groups need to be treated as separate entities.
