Abstract
Thyroid carcinoma is the most common endocrine malignant
diseases, accounting for 06% of all pediatrics cancer.
Papillar y thyroid carcinoma which accounts f or
approximately 90% of pediatric thyroid cancer. However,
pediatric papillary thyroid carcinoma is still a rare disease.
Due to lack of clinical trials, treatment options remain
controversial. Pediatric thyroid cancers typically present as
neck masses with no associated symptoms and thus come to
medical attention at widely varying stages of disease
progression. In contrast to adult papillary thyroid carcinoma,
pediatric papillary thyroid carcinoma tends to be more
aggressive at presentation with higher incidence of
multifocality, lymph node metastases and extracapsular
extension
