[Mixed papillary follicular carcinoma of the thyroid gland in childhood. Report of a case].
The authors have reported a case of childhood Thyroid Carcinoma at a Pediatric Service. This report has been justified since this is an uncommon pathology in children and a very unusual clinical picture for children. The etiology and diagnostic have been reviewed by the authors. The clinical investigation as well as the clinical course of the disease has been present. The literature for thyroid cancer in children has also been reviewed. The need for a careful investigation in children with unusual radiologic finding has been emphasized; being the thyroid carcinoma metastasis diagnosis one of the possibilities.
