| Summary: | Introduction: Thyroid carcinoma is the most common endocrine
malignancy and its Papillary Histotype {Papillary Carcinoma of
Thyroid (PTC)} is the most common type of Thyroid cancer.
The clinicopathological features of PTC vary with geographical
location.
Aim: To describe the clinicopathological profile of PTC in a Tertiary Care Hospital located in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
Materials and Methods: Data on age, sex, centricity of the
tumour, presence of calcifications, infiltration, metastasis, associated non malignant conditions and frequency of histological
subtypes of all cases of PTC diagnosed in Department of
Pathology, Madras Medical College Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
between January 2007 and December 2011 were obtained from
clinicopathological documents and analysed statistically.
Results: Statistically significant correlations were found between
age and sex, age and metastasis, sex and centricity, sex and
metastasis, size of lesion and sex, size of lesion and age, size
and presence of calcifications and presence of calcifications
and metastasis.
Conclusion: Scenario of PTC in our tertiary care setup which
warrants attention is male preponderance of multicentric lesions.
Further, a high association with colloid nodular goitre, while
low incidence of tall cell variant is notable clinico pathological
scenarios in this study. |
