Abstract:Purpose: To identify clinical, biological and pathological risk factors for the incidental discovery of papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMCs) in patients undergoing thyroidectomy for presumed benign conditions.
Methods: Cross sectional, single center study, involving all consecutive patients (N=3015) who were submitted to thyroid surgery between 2001-2019. All medical files were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 1961 patients in the benign group and 145 patients in PTMC group were analyzed.
