“…The estimated weight of the thyroid remnant in the 23 patients with GD in the present study was 6-7 g. and the data for postoperative functional disturbance were similar to those reported in the literature [29]. With a remnant size of 2-5 g, an incidence of hypothyroidism of 35-75% [27] and a low recurrence incidence have been reported, whereas remnants of 10 g or more have yielded recurrence incidences of 15-67% [29]. It has been suggested that virtually all cases of hypothyroidism after surgery for GD occur within the first year [30.…”

The incidence of recurrence and of hypothyroidism was determined in all new patients treated for thyrotoxicosis during the period 1970-1974 in an unselected, well-defined urban population. A total of 309 patients were followed up for a median time period of 108 (1-192) months. There was a cumulative incidence of 51% recurrence in patients who were treated with antithyroid drugs for Graves' thyrotoxicosis, whereas after surgery or radioiodine treatment there were few recurrences, but 32% and 78% cumulative incidences of hypothyroidism. There were no recurrences after surgery or radioiodine treatment in patients with toxic multinodular goitre or solitary toxic adenoma, but 29% and 40% cumulative incidences of hypothyroidism following radioiodine treatment. Late hypothyroidism occurred after surgery for Graves' thyrotoxicosis, and in all groups treated with radioiodine. Thus it is advisable that all patients with Graves' thyrotoxicosis, regardless of treatment, and all patients with toxic multinodular goitre or solitary toxic adenoma treated with radioiodine, should be followed up for many years, and probably for life.

Thyroid carcinoma accounts for 1-1.5% of all childhood malignancies. These cancers are rare at ages younger than 5 years and more rare in male children. In this case report a 4 years old male child presented with right sided upper cervical neck mass for 11 months and treated as a branchial cyst. After histopathological report and further investigation he was finally diagnosed as papillary carcinoma of thyroid with metastatic right sided neck-node.

“…Extent of surgical resection is dictated by both histology and anatomic spread of malignancy. Such limited surgery is clearly adequate for local control and avoids the potential morbidity of hypoparathyroidism and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, which are risked in total thyroidectomy (FARRAR et al 1980;CHRISTENSEN et al 1983;OZAKI et al 1983;SIERK et al 1990;BLOCK 1981;BREAUX and GUILLAMONDEGUI 1980;WEBER and CLARK 1985;COHN et al 1984). The overwhelming majority of cases of pediatric thyroid cancer are best managed with subtotal thyroidectomy (lobectomy plus isthmus) or occasional local excision of an isolated nodule) FARRAR et al 1980;CHRISTENSEN et al 1983;OZAKI et al 1983;SIERK et al 1990;BLOCK 1981;BREAUX and GUILLAMONDEGUI 1980;WEBER and CLARK 1985;COHN et al 1984).…”
