clinicopathologic evaluation is lacking. In addition, the rate of occult malignancy in the …

Background Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) frequently involves lymph nodes in the lateral
compartment, but PTC located in one lobe rarely metastasizes to bilateral lateral nodes. This …

Identifying risk factors for neck lymph node metastasis (LNM) in papillary thyroid carcinoma
(PTC) is important for patient prognosis establishment. We conducted a retrospective study …
