Abstract

Papillary thyroid carcinoma has a favorable outcome in children. Recent experience with young children cases with early recurrences, after the total thyroidectomy and excision of palpable lymph nodes, in contrast to usual course of disease in adolescent cases, prompted us to review our experience on papillary carcinoma surgery.
