UNLABELLED Radioiodine (RAI) has played a crucial role in differentiated thyroid cancer treatment for more than 60years. However, the use of RAI administration in patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (even multifocal) is now being widely discussed and often not recommended. In accordance with European consensus, and contrary to the American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines, we rec...

Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary disorder. Here in, we report two patients with RTH in whom differentiated thyroid cancer was diagnosed. Two patients were admitted to our clinic and their laboratory results were elevated thyroid hormone levels with unsuppressed TSH. We considered this situation thyroid hormone resistance in the light of laboratory and ...

Collision tumor represents the proximal coexistence of two histologically distinct tumors. The combination different types tumors in a single thyroid gland is extremely unusual. We reported case follicular carcinoma and papillary microcarcinoma occur independently as primary separated by normal tissue 59- year- old Saudi female, presented at clinic with goiter for months duration without sympto...

OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine the predictive factors for central compartment lymph node metastasis (LNM) in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). The outcome of the current study could assist greatly in decision-making regarding further treatment. METHODS Retrospective analysis of PTMC treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University. The predictive risk factors for...

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...

Classical papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is a variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) known to have excellent prognosis. It has a mortality of 0.3%, even in the presence of distance metastasis. The latest American Thyroid Association guidelines state that although lobectomy is acceptable, active surveillance can be considered in the appropriate setting. We present the case of a 37...
