    Pediatric thyroid cancer, particularly follicular carcinoma in young children, presents unique challenges. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing this rare but serious condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Endocrinology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Thyroid cancer is rare in children under 15.
    • Head and neck irradiation was not a risk factor in this cohort.
    • Well-differentiated cancers were observed in all patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present eleven cases of pediatric thyroid cancer.
    • To analyze clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcomes.
    • To highlight the importance of early detection and management.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective case series analysis.
    • Review of clinical data for 11 pediatric patients with thyroid cancer.
    • Surgical treatment (near total thyroidectomy) and radioactive iodine therapy were utilized.

    Main Results:

    • The study included 4 boys and 7 girls, with the youngest being 4 years old.
    • Follicular carcinomas were common (4 cases), with 3 in patients under 10.
    • Lymph node involvement occurred in 63.7% of cases; one patient had CNS metastasis.

    Conclusions:

    • Pediatric thyroid cancer, even well-differentiated types, can be aggressive with significant nodal involvement.
    • Prompt surgical treatment and appropriate adjuvant therapy are essential for managing pediatric thyroid cancer.
    • Continued follow-up is critical for detecting residual or recurrent disease.
