We have analysed the results of surgical treatment for @entity1374 ( @entity1374 ). In sixteen @entity1 clinical and follow-up data were retrospectively evaluated during a 35.1-month follow-up. Thyroid hyperfunctional state us was present in two subjects. A single nodule was detected by echotomography in 11 @entity1 , while multinodular diffuse goitre was revealed in 3 @entity1 . In the last two subjects, thyroid gland appeared completely normal at ultrasonography, despite laterocervical lymph node @entity3 . Fine-needle aspiration biopsy was performed in 6 @entity1 and its diagnostic accuracy was high (83,3%). @entity1374 was classified as "incidental" in 12 @entity1 and "occult" in the remaining 4 @entity1 . Eight subjects underwent total thyroidectomy and 8 hemithyroidectomy plus isthmectomy. No @entity260 were recorded. In 10 @entity1 @entity1374 histotype was @entity420 , in 5 was @entity53917 and in the remaining case it was @entity189 . Goitre was associated in 75% of the cases. Only in a @entity1 disease progressed to death because of hematogenous @entity3 . In conclusion, we believe that incidental @entity1374 is a low-grade malignancy with a benign biological behaviour. Occult @entity1374 is a potentially lethal disease. We did not observe differences in the long-term results between different surgical treatments of @entity1374 .
