Abstract
- Minimally invasive follicular carcinoma is exceedingly rare in children and should be included in the differential diagnosis of thyroid mass. A 2-year-old child visited the hospital with a left neck mass. Ultrasonography showed a 3.5 cm-sized well-defined hypoechoic mass in the left lobe of thyroid gland and fine needle aspiration cytology revealed multiple benign follicular cells and a cluster of giant cell. He underwent left lobectomy and the subsequent histopathologic diagnosis confirmed the minimally invasive follicular carcinoma. He has been followed up for 12 months without any evidence of recurrence.
