Abstract EN
Objectives.
We compared the ultrasonography and pathology features of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in pediatric and adolescents with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) with those of non-HT patients.
Materials and Methods.
Eleven patients who were surgically confirmed to have pediatric or adolescent PTC from 2006 to 2014 were included in this study.
We retrospectively analyzed the preoperative ultrasonography and pathology features of PTC arising in HT and non-HT patients.
Results.
On ultrasonography, thyroid gland was lobulated and enlarged, with many scattered microcalcifications in four of five HT patients.
Four of six non-HT patients had suspicious masses with calcifications.
The diffuse sclerosing variant of PTC (DSVPTC) was found in three of five HT patients, but none in non-HT patients.
Macroscopic or microscopic extrathyroidal extension was evident in all of the HT patients and four of the non-HT patients.
Neck lymph node metastases were in all HT patients and five of non-HT patients.
Conclusions.
Three of five PTCs in pediatric and adolescent HT patients were DSVPTC, whereas all PTCs of the non-HT patients were classic type.
On ultrasonography, thyroid gland was diffusely enlarged with scattered microcalcifications in four of five HT patients.
All five HT cases had aggressive disease, including extrathyroidal extension and cervical lymph node metastases.
