Abstract

Pediatric thyroid cancer is rare in children; however, incidence is increasing. Papillary thyroid cancer and follicular thyroid cancer are the most common subtypes, comprising about 90% and 10% of cases, respectively. This paper provides consensus imaging recommendations for evaluation of pediatric patients with thyroid cancer at diagnosis and during follow-up.

Keywords: pediatric; thyroid cancer; thyroid tumor.
