Overview
Papillary thyroid cancer must be differentiated from other diseases that cause neck mass, such as branchial cleft cyst, thyroglossal duct cyst, cystic metastasis, and multiple neurofibromas.
Differentiating Papillary thyroid cancer from other Diseases
- Other thyroid neoplasms should be considered in the absence of cavitary cervical lymph nodes.[1]
- The differential of a cystic neck mass(es) includes:
- Thyroglossal duct cyst (only if single)
- Branchial cleft cyst (only if single)
- Cystic metastasis
- Abscess including tuberculous lymphadenitis
- Multiple neurofibromas
