According to recent guidelines, papillary microcarcinoma can be safely followed over ten years, and only a small percentage will show significant growth or metastasis. Approximately one third of adults have papillary microcarcinomas in their thyroid, but most will never progress into metastatic cancer. Here, we describe a male adult treated for cervical metastasis of papillary cancer in the thyroid gland. The patient underwent total thyroidectomy, central neck dissection, and lateral neck dissection. A meticulous histological examination showed papillary thyroid cancer metastasis in the central compartment as well as in region 4 in the lateral compartment. There was no sign of primary papillar..
