Comparative Analysis of Incidental and Non‐Incidental Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma Outcomes: Implications on Management Recommendations
This comprehensive 10-year retrospective review found few differences in the presentation of incidental and non-incidental microcarcinoma, with low recurrence rates and excellent outcomes. These findings, with overall low numbers, provide hypothesis-generating evidence that this group may be suitable for discharge to primary care for further follow-up.
