The World Health Organization limited the tumor diameter in 1988; The thyroid cancer nodule of 1.0 cm is thyroid microcarcinoma. Symptoms of thyroid microcarcinoma? Let's talk about it

Symptoms of thyroid microcarcinoma

1. The thyroid gland can touch tiny nodules, hard, good activity, no tenderness. Because the nodules of TMC are usually small, almost located in the thyroid body or even the capsule, it is difficult to find them without careful examination. Of the 867 cases of TMC reported by Noguchi, only 23 cases (2.7%) were clinically palpable.

2. In the case of multiple nodular goiter, we should pay attention to whether there are small and hard nodules in many nodules of different sizes. The texture of this nodule is different from that of the surrounding goiter. During the physical examination, we should carefully palpate the bilateral glandular lobes. We should not only pay attention to the thyroid lobes on the obvious side of the nodule, but ignore the contralateral glandular lobes with no obvious nodule.

3. Cervical lymph node metastasis often occurs in TMC. The incidence of cervical lymph node metastasis of TMC was reported in the literature ranging from 2.0% to 43%. In some cases, cervical lymph node enlargement was the earliest clinical manifestation of TMC. The tumor in lymph nodes may develop rapidly and develop cystic necrosis and lymph node degeneration. Many cervical lymph node metastases can be misdiagnosed as cervical cystic lesions or bronchial cysts.
