Thyroid cancers accounts for approximately 1% of all malignancies in developed countries with an estimated annual incidence of 1,22,000 cases worldwide. Thyroid enlargements may be diffuse or nodular, often with physiological changes. Thyroid nodules are more common in women and in regions of low intake of iodine. The thyroid is one of the most labile organs in the body and responds to numerous stimuli such as puberty, pregnancy, physiologic stress and various pathologic states. This functional liability of the thyroid is responsible for transient hyperplasia of the thyroidal epithelium. Here we present a case of Papillary Carcinoma of Thyroid in a 38 year male patient which was symptomless with normal thyroid function tests and without enlargement of the gland.
