Abstract:
The Authors examine their experience about clinical implications and therapeutic strategies on Papillary MicroCarcinoma (PMC) of the thyroid gland. Clinical charts of 412 patients, who underwent thyroid surgery, were analyzed. The Authors stress "incidental diagnosis", benign associated lesions and frequency of population presentation; they conclude that the total thyroidectomy is the procedure of choice with oncology validity.
