Description
Introduction Papillary thyroid carcinoma accounts for approximately 85% of thyroid cancers and is considered to be a relatively indolent tumor in which distant metastasis and death from disease are rare (1). Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is defined as papillary carcinoma of thyroid that is measuring 10 mm or less in diameter (2). It appears to increase in frequency among patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer probably due to extensive use of high-resolution thyroid ultrasonography (US) and US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), and due to a more accurate histopathological examination of surgical specimens (3,4). Considering the modality of presentation, PTMC may be subdivided into: a) PTMC found at autopsy or incidentally found at histology, b) PTMC found incidentally during thyroid or neck US and diagnosed before surgery by FNAB cytology, and c) clinical PTMC (i.e., tumors whose presenting symptoms were locoregional or distant metastase) (5).
