abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIM:Papillary thyroid carcinomas smaller than 1 cm are classified as papillary microcarcinomas (PMCs). Papillary microcarcinomas are usually considered low-risk tumors; however in some cases, PMCs behave aggressively and metastasize early, giving rise to clinically metastatic disease. Debate exists in th...
