“…2,3 Diagnosis of PTC depends mainly on the presence of universally accepted diagnostic nuclear features like: enlarged, oval, and crowded nuclei, frequent nuclear grooves, intranuclear cytoplasmic inclusions, and coarse granular chromatin along with other features like papillary architecture and psammoma bodies. 3,5,6 The purpose of this study is firstly to find the association of the size of the primary papillary thyroid carcinoma with the presence of metastasis in any of the cervical lymph node compartments; secondly, to find the most common age group affected by this tumor; and thirdly, to look for the commonest thyroid gland diseases associated with PTC.…”

Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common malignancyof thyroid gland. It constitutes about 90% of all well differentiated thyroid carcinomas and has anindolent course with excellent prognosis.1,2,3 Death due to papillary thyroid carcinoma is rare andaccounts for only 0.2% of cancer deaths in United States of America.4 The prevalence of PTChas increased world over due to the wider use of ultrasonography and fine needle aspirationcytology (FNAC) in the routine diagnostic workup. Also papillary thyroid microcarcinomas(PTMC) are being increasingly diagnosed as incidental findings in thyroid gland removed forother thyroid pathologies, like follicular adenoma, multi-nodular goiter or diffuse goiter, etc. Dueto uncertainty for this tumor to metastasize to the regional lymph nodes, it is usually not clearwhether the surgeon should take the patient to the operating room and proceed with lymphnode dissection or to wait and observe. Study Design: In this retrospective study from the yearPeriod: January 2012 to January 2015, a total of 43 cases of total thyroidectomy with regionallymph node dissection and with histopathological diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinomawere retrieved from archives of Setting: Charsada Teaching Hospital affiliated with JinnahMedical College Peshawar. The slides and diagnoses of all the retrieved cases were reviewed.Information regarding primary tumor size, any metastasis in regional lymph nodes, patient’sage and presence or absence of any associated thyroid disease was noted and analyzed.Results: The analysis of the 43 cases of PTC showed that papillary thyroid carcinoma was morecommon in females than males. It affected age groups between 10 and 80 years of age andwas most common in the 4th decade of life. Cervical lymph node metastasis was directly relatedwith the size of primary papillary thyroid carcinoma. The commonly associated thyroid diseasesincluded Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, followed by multinodular goiter and rarely Graves’ disease.Conclusions: Papillary thyroid carcinoma is more common in females; it affects patients in theirfourth decade of life and is commonly associated with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Moreover thechances of cervical lymph node metastasis are directly proportional to the primary tumor size.

Objective:To design a new draining method for near total thyroidectomy at the lower two sides of the neck. Methods: Near total thyroidectomies in 63 cases were performed with new drain incisions at the lower two sides of the neck between December 1998 and July 2004. Results: All the draining operative procedures were performed smoothly, and all produced cosmetic scars were effective. The mean amount drained was 38 ml (minimum 10 ml, maximum 120 ml) and no patient developed wound infection. Conclusion: The drain incision for near total thyroidectomy placed at the lower sides of the neck results in a cosmetic scar which is easily covered by the collar, and was safe and effective. We thereby recommend the use of this drain incision for near total thyroidectomy.
