The tyroid microcarcinoma is definited differentiated carcinoma of max 1 cm in diameter. We have reviewed clionical and histopathological results of 54 consecutive patients with papillary and follicular thyroid microcarcinoma and operated in the our clinic in the period of 1985 to 2004. Several variables, such as older age, multifocality, bilateral disease, and extrathyroidal spread at initial assessment, may have some adverse prognostic significance. We reccommend total thyroidectomy accompained by modified neck dissection if enlarged nodes are diagnosed.

Abstract

The tyroid microcarcinoma is definited differentiated carcinoma of max 1 cm in diameter. We have reviewed clionical and histopathological results of 54 consecutive patients with papillary and follicular thyroid microcarcinoma and operated in the our clinic in the period of 1985 to 2004. Several variables, such as older age, multifocality, bilateral disease, and extrathyroidal spread at initial assessment, may have some adverse prognostic significance. We reccommend total thyroidectomy accompained by modified neck dissection if enlarged nodes are diagnosed.
