title: [Thyroid cancer in childhood (author's transl)].
abstract: The authors present three cases of thyroid cancer in the child with comments on the etiologic, clinical and therapeutic aspects of this rare disease. The authors insist on the danger of local radiotherapy and on the need to suspect thyroid cancer in cases of persistent laterocervical adenopathies whose diagnosis can only be confirmed by means of a biopsy. It is of note that the illness took a favourable course and various therapeutic criteria are discussed.
