Abstract

Thyroid papillary carcinoma represents a quite indolent and relatively frequent malignant tumor of the thyroid gland. Most lesions have a good prognosis, with excellent disease-free survival after thyroidectomy [1-3]. In this report it’s described a case of papillary carcinoma metastases with onset after 17 years from the first intervention. Some speculations are made regarding the reasons of the particular course of papillary carcinoma in this female patient. Clinical and anamnestic conditions together with B-RAF V600E point mutation could be responsible of a more aggressive biological potential.
