“…Segun algunos autores el interes en CT ha ido en aumento en los ultimos anos debido probablemente a su relation con la irradiation de cabeza, cuello y mediastino superior por causas diversas, tecnica que estuvo en boga hace algunos anos 2 ' 3 . Por otra parte, tambien se ha mencionado una mayor incidencia de CT en regiones de bocio endemico, como tambien en nifios con tiroides ectopicos o aplasia de un lobulo 4 . Ademas, se ha descrito la relation del CT con un defecto en la sintesis de T 4 e hipotiroidismo inadecuadamente tratados y que, por lo tanto, estan sometidos a una intensa estimulacion con TSH endogeno 4 ' 5 .…”

Thyroid cancer among children and adolescents Clinical and pathological features of 36 patients with thyroid cancer under 19 years of age were studied: at histological examination 55.5% (20 patients) had papillary carcinoma and 44.5% (16 patients) the follicular type of neoplasm. No cases of undifferentiated and medullary cancers were detected. Twenty two (61%) cases had single nodule goiters, while in 14 (39%) patients these were multinodular. Nine cases of early metastases to regional lymphatic tissues and 4 of distant metastases were seen. All patients underwent surgical treatment and were given replacement therapy with thyroid hormones. Additionally nineteen patients were treated postoperatively with I* 31. There were 4 cases of postoperative hypoparathyroidism, one of inferior laryngeal nerve lesion and one operating room death. Three regional recurrences of thyroid carcinoma were seen. Mean length of follow up was 15.4 (range 1 to 40) years and included all cases: there was only one death attributable to thyroid cancer. The prognosis and evolution of thyroid cancer in children and adolescents looks rather benign even in the presence of regional or long distance metastases.

Retrospective review of pediatric patients with thyroid cancerBackground: In childhood, thyroid cancer is uncommon and has a different biological behavior than in adults. Aim: To analyze the surgical experience in thyroid cancer in children. Material and Methods: Review of medical records of patients aged 15 years or less with a thyroid cancer, operated in a Regional hospital between 1980 and 2007. Results: Six females and 2 males, aged 9 to 15 years, were operated in the study period. Five had a family history of thyroid diseases. Four had involvement of cervical lymph nodes at the moment of operation but none had systemic dissemination. All were euthyroid. A total thyroidectomy was performed in four patients. Cervical lymph node dissection was also performed in four patients. No immediate complications were recorded. One patient had a local relapse. Five patients were also treated with radioiodine. At the end of the follow up ranging from 108 to 320 months, all patients are asymptomatic. The pathological study disclosed a papillary carcinoma in seven and medullary carcinoma in one patient. Conclusions: Thyroid cancer in childhood has low mortality rates and surgical treatment is safe and effective.
