Is classic papillary thyroid carcinoma definitely an “indolent cancer”?—a case of locally advanced classic occult papillary thyroid carcinoma: a case report
In this case, lateral cervical lymph node metastasis had already occurred without the preoperative detection of a primary thyroid focus, suggesting that the potential risk of classic PTC <1 cm cannot be ignored. Besides, how to accurately identify the malignant degree of low-risk PTC <1 cm preoperatively is worthy of further study.
