Abstract: Pediatric thyroid masses are rare and their risk of malignancy is high; however, the prognosis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma in children is more favorable. It is important to assess the risk of malignancy based on medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, imaging tests, and fine needle aspiration cytology. Although the treatment of benign thyroid nodules in children is more conservative, total thyroidectomy is always the first choice for children with thyroid carcinoma. Whole body scans with radioactive iodine should be performed regularly after surgery alongside thyroglobulin determination.

Key words: Differentiated thyroid carcinoma, Child, Thyroid nodules
