Clinicopathological Analysis of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Pathology and Microbiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
Thyroid cancer is the most prevalent type of malignancy. The present study was conducted to assess clinical and pathological features of papillary thyroid carcinomas. The present study was conducted on 520 specimens submitted to the department. All slides were reviewed and given the WHO classification of thyroid tumors, each case was reassigned accordingly. Clinical features were also recorded. Males were 280 and females were 240. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). <20 years had 90 cases, 20-40 years had 190 cases, 4060 years had 160 cases and >60 years had 80 cases. Common clinical findings in patients were neck mass (90%), dysphagia (42%), dysphonia (25%), weight loss (18%), lymphadenopathy (12%) and hyperthyroidism (7%). Metastatic type of PTC was seen in 220 cases and non- metastatic type in 300 cases. Maximum cases were seen in age group 20-40 years. Males showed higher prevalence than females.
