Facial nerve palsy (12%) and cervical lymph node metastases (82%) were present, and 96% received post-operative adjuvant therapy. Histologically, the tumors resembled high-grade invasive and in-situ ductal carcinoma of breast. Micropapillary, papillary, sarcomatoid, 326A oncocytic and mucinous ...
Our main objective is to evaluate the association between the size of the tumor and the number of lymph node metastases in patients with PTC. Methods: We conducted an electronic retrospective chart review of 125 patients with PTC followed in the Head and Neck Department at KAMC from 2009 to ...
Results: Thirty cases of PTC with lymph node metastasis or with potential for lymphatic invasion, and 20 cases of metastatic PTC in lymph nodes were reviewed; 40-100 % of cases showed double/mosaic immunoreactivity for TTF1/D2-40. Lymph nodes with PTC metastasis, cysts, and branching cleft-...

One of 11 patients (9%) who underwent a CND and had MTC detected was found to have metastatic disease to the central neck lymph node basin. In addition, 1 of the 12 patients (8%) with MTC was found to have perineural invasion; however, it was confined to the thyroid gland. All ...
