Abstract
Thyroid cancer is considered uncommon in pediatrics, yet it is the most common endocrine malignancy among them. The aim of this study was to analyze pediatric thyroid carcinomas diagnosed in Sardinian children and adolescents in order to find a possible association with autoimmune diseases. We studied 63 consecutive 10-20-years-old patients who underwent surgery for thyroid cancer between January 2001 and April 2020 in our hospital. No evidence of risk factors including external radiation was found. All cases were follicular-derived neoplasms: 45 PTCs (72%), 9 FTCs (14%), 2 well differentiated carcinomas not otherwise specified (3%), 2 poorly differentiated carcinomas (3%), 5 cases of encapsulated PTC-FV were re-diagnosed as NIFTP
