Papillary thyroid carcinoma

Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common and has the least malignancy. About half of thyroid cancer is more common in children or young (before age 40) female patients, and some patients have had neck x-rays during childhood. The tumor grows slowly and can be localized in the thyroid for several years. The lesion can spread from the primary site to other parts of the gland and local lymph nodes through the intraglandular lymphatic vessels, or it can be localized for several years, so its nature is easy to ignore.
