Abstract

Thyroid papillary microcarcinomas not only present with neck lympathic metastasis but also may occur in thyroglossal cysts or ectopic thyroid glands. The aim of this case report is to discuss two cases of thyroid papillary carcinomas with no mass detectable by thyroid gland ultrasonography but diagnosed with the biopsy of cervical lymphatic metastasis and occurred in ground of lateral sided thyroglossal cyst. It must be kept in mind that, in cervical metastasis and even laterally sided cystic masses, these symptoms may be associated with thyroid papillary carcinoma.
