Papillary carcinoma of thyroid accounts for 80% of all thyroid malignancies. They tend to have a female preponderance and present in the 4th to 5th decade of life, as a slow growing midline mass. Cervical metastases are common, blood borne being rare. We present a case of a 29 years old who presented with cervical lymphadenopathy that was secondary to an occult papillary carcinoma of thyroid. Patient underwent total thyroidectomy with bilateral neck node dissection for the same.

ABSTRACT Papillary carcinoma arising in thyroglossal cyst is rare and is usually detected on postoperative histopathology after routine Sistrunk operation. Further management is a matter of debate and the choice lies between regular follow-up after Sistrunk operation or total thyroidectomy with or without radioiodine ablation and thyroxine suppression therapy. Here, we present a case of papillary carcinoma of thyroglossal duct cyst in a 26- year-old lady. Papillary carcinoma was detected after a routine Sistrunk operation was done for a seemingly innocuous thyroglossal cyst. A total thyroidectomy was carried 1 week later followed by hormone replacement therapy to suppress serum thyroid-stimulating hormone levels.

A 40-year-old female presented with tuberculous cervical lymphadenopathy developed within three months of total thyroidectomy operation. Her thyroid lesion was a nodular goiter harboring occult papillary carcinoma. Aspiration cytology and histopathology of lymph node revealed granulomatous lymphadenitis of tuberculous type. The patient was treated with conventional antituberculous four-drug regime for 6 months and was followed up for subsequent two years. Our country is considered as an endemic goiter area and Occult papillary carcinoma is therefore, not an uncommon disease here. Tuberculosis is a communicable disease also seen frequently here. But development of tuberculous lymphadenitis in a postoperative Thyroidectomy patient has not been reported before, as per authors knowledge goes. This case has therefore been reported here with a brief review of the literature. This is also emphasized here, that occult papillary carcinoma is possibly a nonlethal curable disease when treated by conservative surgery. Radical surgical or total thyroidectomy is unnecessary in the treatment of the disease. Postoperative nodal metastasis is also of very rare occurrence with these cases.   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/taj.v14i2.8396 TAJ 2001; 14(2): 92-95

Thyroid carcinoma accounts for 1-1.5% of all childhood malignancies. These cancers are rare at ages younger than 5 years and more rare in male children. In this case report a 4 years old male child presented with right sided upper cervical neck mass for 11 months and treated as a branchial cyst. After histopathological report and further investigation he was finally diagnosed as papillary carcinoma of thyroid with metastatic right sided neck-node.
