Differences in Clinicopathological Characteristics of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma between Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism

CONCLUSIONS: The concomitant PTC in asymptomatic PHPT patients showed a higher rate of microscopic extrathyroidal invasion when compared to symptomatic PHPT patients. So the FNA is essential to the asymptomatic PHPT patients with suspicious thyroid nodules and once the PTC is confirmed, concurrent parathyroidectomy should be performed with thyroidectomy in asymptomatic PHPT patients.PMID:34158812 | PMC:PMC8187053 | DOI:10.1155/2021/9917694
