A Young Patient with Recurrent Lymph Node Involvement: Imaging, Cytology, and Thyroglobulin Washout
Ultrasonography (US) is the most accurate tool for exploring cervical lymph nodes for persistent/recurrent lesions in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Although certain features are highly informative for malignancy (e.g., the presence of punc

Whether this is due, as many suspect, to increases in radiologic procedures and screening, or to environmental factors, such as radiation, or both, continues to be a matter of intense debate. However, for the clinicians caring for the large number of new and prevalent thyroid cancer patients, there is no debate about the need for current, practical, and evidence-based information on management. This is especially the case for our patients with low-risk papillary thyroid cancer, who represent the vast majority of thyroid cancer patients in the twenty-first century. In this group, we are learning that “less is more” in terms of the traditional treatments of surgery, radioiodine, and thyroxine suppressive therapy. Also, the need for immediate biopsy (and surgery) in the case of small, subcentimeter, lo
