ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: Occult papillary thyroid carcinomas (OPC) are defined as tumors measuring 0.5 cm in size. Therefore, we prefer near-total or total thyroidectomy with central lymph node dissection. Early detection and treatment of OPC might be warranted by the routine use of thyroid USG and USG-guided FNA.
