'Incidental' and 'non-incidental' thyroid papillary microcarcinomas are two different entities.
OBJECTIVE Papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (microPTC) may be 'incidental' (Inc-microPTC), occasionally found at histology after surgery for benign disease or 'non-incidental' (Non-Inc-microPTC), diagnosed on clinical grounds. It is unclear whether these different microPTC reflect the same disease. The aim of the study was to compare Inc-microPTC and Non-Inc-microPTC for clinical and histologic...
متن کاملIncidental papillary microcarcinoma of the thyroid.
Papillary microcarcinoma (PMC) is a thyroid tumor measuring 10mm or less in maximum diameter and comprise up to 30% of all papillary thyroid cancers. Most of them are detected incidentally and defined as incidental papillary microcarcinoma (IPC<or=10mm). The incidence of such incidental cancers found in surgical specimens of benign thyroid diseases is high. Although most PMC are incidental, all...
متن کاملIncidental versus non-incidental thyroid carcinoma: Clinical presentation, surgical management and prognosis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Thyroid cancer may be clinically evident as a tumor mass in the neck or as a histopathological incidental finding after thyroid surgery for an apparent benign condition. Our objective was to assess the differences in clinical signs, surgical management, and course between incidental and clinically diagnosed thyroid tumors. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted o...

We appreciate the interest in, and the constructive criticism of our paper entitled: ‘‘Incidental versus non-incidental thyroid carcinoma: Clinical presentation, surgical management and prognosis’’. In their comments, our colleagues state that our series shows no differences in surgical complications. However, the results did reveal differences (overall hypoparathyroidism rate 9.9% vs 4.2%, and...
