Thyroid Papillary Microcarcinoma: Etiology, Clinical Manifestations, Diagnosis, Follow-up, Histopathology and Prognosis

Background: Thyroid carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the endocrine system. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer, accounting for 70–90% of well-differentiated thyroid malignancies. Thyroid papillary microcarcinoma is a subtype of papillary carcinoma that included tumors with less than 10mm diameter. As a result of diagnostic methods improvement, p...

Incidental 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...

Ultrasonic features of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma and non-microcarcinoma

The present study analyzed the ultrasonic features of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) and papillary thyroid non-microcarcinoma (non-PTMC) with the aim of improving the diagnostic value of ultrasonography. The ultrasonic features of 328 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), as confirmed by pathology, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were diagnosed with PTMC if the tumor...

Multifocality and Bilaterality of Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma

OBJECTIVES Papillary thyroid carcinomas frequently occur as two or more separate foci within the thyroid gland (18%-87%). However, those multifocal tumors are easy to be undetected by preoperative radiologic evaluations, which lead to remnant disease after initial surgery. We aimed to study the incidence of multifocal papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMCs), diagnostic accuracy of preoperativ...

Treatment for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma

AIM OF THE STUDY The treatment for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), which is a tumor measuring less than 1 cm, is still a subject of controversy. The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the patients diagnosed with PTMC in terms of their clinical and histopathological features. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 153 consecutive patients with PTMC were treated, and their clini...
