Clinical Significance of Multinodularity in Patients with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
Backgroud/Aim: To assess the clinical significance of nodules in multinodular thyroid if one nodule is diagnosed as papillary carcinoma (PC), we investigated 97 patients with a multinodular thyroid and histopathological diagnosis of PC. Patients and Methods: We assessed the following variables: age and gender, fine-needle aspiration diagnosis, PC nodule size and dominance, intraglandular dissemination (ID), regional lymph node (RLN) status, and distribution of diagnoses of the other nodules. Results: Among 97 patients with PC, additional diagnoses were: nodular goiter (NG) in 64 patients, ID in 28, Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) in 26, and follicular or Hurthle cell adenoma in seven. Conclusion: Patients with ID, and without NG or HT more often had RLN metastases. Lower rates of RLN metastases in patients with NG and HT are probably due to smaller PC nodule sizes found during routine follow-up of these benign diseases.
