其他摘要：Thyroid enlargement and nodules are very rare in children, but when they occur, the chance of malignancy among these nodules is very high. Thyroid carcinoma is rare in childhood, but in the last two decades, its incidence has increased two-fold. A painless nodule in the neck is the most common presentation of the disease. Dysphagia, hoarseness, cervical lymphadenopathy, weight loss, and fatigue are other presentations. Surgical resection is the primary therapy for thyroid cancer.

Her symptoms had begun 6 months earlier.
