Papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) is subgroup of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) defined by tumors ≤ 10 mm in largest diameter. PTMC now accounts for approximately half of all new diagnoses of PTC. Though the majority of PTMC cases are low stage and amenable to disease-free state after thyroid surgery, PTMC may be complicated by lymph node metastases. We present a case of PTMC diagnosed during evaluation of a visible neck mass.
