Aim – This study aimed to analyze the association between B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) V600E and tumor size, lymph node, distant metastasis (TNM) status on patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma. Material Methods research is a cross-sectional study. A total of 40 samples were carcinoma tissue paraffin blocks from thyroidectomy surgery at State General Hospital (RSUP) ...

Papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMCs) have an excellent prognosis, although a few may metastasize to cervical lymph nodes. However, an infiltrated palpable neck node without evidence of thyroid disease at presentation is uncommon. We report a patient with PTMC presenting as a solitary lymph node metastasis without evidence of primary thyroid tumor in thyroid imaging and with inconclusive ly...

Lateral neck node metastasis is an important prognostic factor in thyroid carcinoma. We developed a scoring system for use in prediction of lateral neck node metastasis from papillary thyroid cancer. In this study, 161 consecutive patients were included in the training data set. This scoring system, named the Yonsei Estimated Value (YEV) for lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid cancer, wa...

INTRODUCTION Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine neoplasia and the papillary subtype is the most frequent; there are histological and clinical factors associated with a higher risk of recurrence and metastasis. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the histological, prognostic and clinical characteristics of papillary thyroid carcinomas diagnosed at the National Cancer Instit...

Background: We present three cases of Warthin-like papillary thyroid carcinoma (WLPTC) and perform a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the relationship between WLPTC and clinicopathological features. Methods: Relevant articles were obtained by searching the PubMed and KoreaMed databases using the following Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms and keywords: “Warthin papillary thyr...

A diffuse sclerosing variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma is uncommon and has a tendency for rapid growth and a higher incidence of cervical lymph node metastases. We experienced a case of a diffuse sclerosing variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma in a 48-year-old man. This case showed benign features on initial ultrasonography and positron emission tomography (PET) scan. A new nodule was de...

BACKGROUND Papillary thyroid carcinoma presenting as isolated cervical lymphadenopathy with clinically and histologically normal thyroid gland is rarely reported. CASE REPORT We report a case of 31 years old female who presented with a left cervical mass and clinically normal thyroid gland. After inconclusive FANC, excision biopsy of her cervical lymph nodes revealed metastatic papillary thyr...

Title: Sentinel lymph node biopsy is unsuitable for routine practice in young female patients with unilateral low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma

Malignant melanoma can be successfully treated when it is identified in its early stages, but the disease is associated with a poor prognosis when it is detected in an advanced stage. Papillary thyroid carcinoma is a thyroid cancer that has a good prognosis. The present study reports a rare case of malignant melanoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma that were diagnosed concurrently and treated s...

Background/aim: The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) and predictive factors for central lymph node metastasis (CLNM).Materials and methods: Patients diagnosed as having PTC and PTMC were evaluated. Clinical and laboratory parameters were recorded.Results: Th...
