Thyroid cancers (TC) are rare diseases in the pediatric population and represents 0.5-3% of all malignant tumors in children. Differenti-ated thyroid cancer (DTC) is a major TC in children. Every patient under 18 years of age diagnosed with a thyroid nodule should under-go a detailed medical examination. The screening test for children with an increased risk for DTC is ultrasound examination of the neck. Both ultrasound and clinical images of a tissue lesion are more important than its size. It should also be emphasized that autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT), a comorbid condition for TC, is increasingly often diagnosed in young patients. Because of the rare incidence of this kind of cancer, we present 3 case studies of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma, hospitalized in the Department of Pediatrics, En-docrinology, Diabetology, Metabolic Diseases and Cardiology of Developmental Age at Pomeranian Medical University (PMU) in Szczecin.
甲状腺癌（TC）在儿科人群中是罕见疾病，占儿童所有恶性肿瘤的0.5%-3%。分化型甲状腺癌（DTC）是儿童主要的甲状腺癌类型。每位18岁以下被诊断为甲状腺结节的患者都应接受详细的医学检查。对DTC风险增加的儿童进行的筛查测试是颈部超声检查。组织病变的超声和临床图像比其大小更重要。还应强调的是，作为TC的一种合并症，自身免疫性甲状腺炎（AIT）在年轻患者中越来越常被诊断出来。由于这种癌症发病率较低，我们介绍了3例在什切青的波美拉尼亚医科大学（PMU）发育年龄儿科、内分泌科、糖尿病科、代谢疾病和心脏病科住院的乳头状甲状腺癌患者的病例研究。
