Thyroid Nodule <1cm and Low-Risk Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma: What are today’s Management Options?
The referred ATA Guideline [1] eliminates the biopsy from the management of the sub centimeter nodules, suggesting repetition of sonography every 6-12 months. The committee justified this action, to indicate FNAB only for suspicious nodules above 1cm, by the indolence of the papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) and because these tumors rarely present ETE, cervical lymph node or distant metas...
متن کاملRE: Management of Low-Risk Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma
We read with great interest the case report by Sun et al. (1), entitled “Papillary thyroid carcinoma treated with radiofrequency ablation in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a case report,” and the letter to the editor by Kim (2), both of which were published in the Korean Journal of Radiology. Sun et al. (1) presented a case of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) treated with ra...
متن کاملTreatment 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...
متن کاملMultifocality 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...
متن کاملUltrasonic 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...
