Abstract：Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of thyroidmicrocarcinoma.Methods We analyzed 16 patients with thyroidmicrocarcinoma retrospectively.Results In the 16 cases with thyroidmi-crocarcinoma,only 4 cases were suspect to have thyroid cancer before operation and 12 cases were diagnosed during the operative pathologic diagnosis.Among 16 cases,10 cases had no-neoplasia survival longer than 4 years after operation.Conclusions For innocent thyroid diseases,palpation should be used carefully during the operation and ultrasound should be made for the suspected node.The first operation should be focused on gland with tumor and thyroidectomy should be done and for patients with lymph noddmetastasis cervical lymph node clearance operation should be done.The routine cervical lymph node clearance operation seems unnecessary.
