Papillary cancer is the most common thyroid cancer occurring in all age groups and is usually an indolent tumor, and patients have an excellent prognosis. The majority of patients with papillary cancer do well. It is for the small number of patients who do poorly that it is critical to carry out the appropriate initial operation. The recognized primary treatment of papillary cancer is surgical excision, and the controversy regarding lobectomy versus total thyroidectomy continues. We favor total thyroidectomy because it eradicates multicentric disease, facilitates postoperative radioactive iodine ablation, and allows thyroglobulin levels to be used as a tumor marker for follow-up. Total thyroidectomy should be done by an experienced surgeon to decrease morbidity. Otherwise a total lobectomy on the side of the nodule with subtotal removal on the opposite side is preferred to avoid serious postoperative complications.

Mature cystic teratoma(MCT) is the most prevalent neoplasm derived from germ cells in females; its progression to malignancy is infrequent. The coexistence of papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC) and strumal carcinoid derived from MCT is exceptionally rare. To the best of our knowledge, only six cases of this condition have been reported to date, however, the molecular information and immune cell infiltration for the mixture has never been studied.

Background: Skip metastasis of lateral cervical lymph nodes not uncommonly occurs in early papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), which represents a heterogeneous metastasis type. Currently, few studies report on the relationship between skip metastasis and prognosis or propose treatment recommendations.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with unilateral T1-stage PTC who underwent lobectomy between 2007 and 2015.

A postmenopausal woman, in her 60s, married with no history of pregnancy, presented to our facility with an abdominal mass of 2 months duration that progressively increased in size. Physical examination revealed a mobile abdominal cystic mass measuring approximately 20×20×10 cm, accompanied by ascites. Transvaginal ultrasonography showed a hypoechoic cystic mass measured >14.

Objective: The prevalence of thyroid cancer has increased significantly. Aggressive subtypes of papillary thyroid cancer (AG-PTC) and high-grade follicular cell-derived malignancies (HGFM) are malignancies that lie between well-differentiated and undifferentiated cancers, and their management needs to be clarified. The aim of our study is to describe the clinicopathological characteristics of AG-PTC and HGFM and to assess their prognostic value.
