Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (papillary and follicular thyroid carcinoma) is rare during childhood and adolescence.[1] Besides being a rare disease, the differentiated thyroid carcinoma accounts for about 0.5–3% of all malignancies in the pediatric population.[2] It makes 90–95% of all pediatric thyroid cancers; medullary thyroid carcinoma is present in 5–8%, and undifferentiated anaplastic carcinoma is extremely rare. The annual occurence of differentiated thyroid carcinoma in children under 16 years of age is between 0.02 and 0.3 cases per 100,000, whereas the annual occurrence per 100,000 in general population ranges from 1.2 to 2.6 in men and from 2.0 to 3.8 in women.[3] The occurrence of thyroid carcinoma in early childhood is very rare. In the literature, there are few cases of differentiated thyroid carcinoma in neonates and infants at the age under 6.
