Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma is defined as a papillary thyroid cancer measuring <10 mm in its largest diameter. We present the scan images of a 36-year-old white woman, with the diagnosis of an incidental papillary thyroid microcarcinoma of 2 mm developed from lymphatic thyroiditis, associated with an invasive papillary thyroid carcinoma with lymph node metastases occurring in an ectopic thyroid gland in the mediastinum. This case underlines the need to evaluate individually and carefully every patient with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma, to accurately plan a therapeutic strategy.
甲状腺微小乳头状癌被定义为最大直径<10mm 的甲状腺乳头状癌。我们呈现了一位 36 岁白人女性的扫描图像，她患有 2mm 的偶然发现的甲状腺微小乳头状癌，源自淋巴性甲状腺炎，伴有位于纵隔异位甲状腺中的侵袭性甲状腺乳头状癌伴淋巴结转移。这个病例强调了需要对每个甲状腺微小乳头状癌患者进行个体化和仔细评估，以准确规划治疗策略。
