Background and purpose:Pathological lymph node metastasis (LNM) is not rare in clinical lymph node negative (cN0) papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors of LNM, especially of high volume LNM (more than 5 metastatic lymph nodes) and contralateral central compartment LNM, in cN0 PTC.Methods:Medical records of 350 PTC patients (265 female, 85 male, 212 patients with solitary lesion in unilateral lobe) were reviewed. All operations of these patients were performed by one surgical team. The clinical pathological data were collected, and univariate and multivariate analysis was performed.Results:LNM was conifrmed in 138 patients (39.4%) and 20 patients had high volume LNM. In 169 patients with solitary lesion in unilateral lobe with total thyroidectomy and bilateral central neck dissection, 24 patients had contralateral metastasis (14.2%). In univariate analysis, tumor size (58.5% in >1 cmvs 33.6% in≤1 cm) and tumor with calcification in preoperational ultrasonography (43.7% withvs 31.7% without) showed signiifcant difference in prevelance of LNM. In multivariate analysis, tumor size >1 cm (OR=2.792) was the independent risk factor of LNM. Gender (3.8% in male vs 11.8% in female), age (10.7% <40 yearsvs 3.4%≥40 years ), tumor size(13.4% in >1 cmvs 3.4% in≤1 cm) and tumor with low echo in preoperational ultrasonography (13.9% withvs 4.8% without) showed signiifcant difference in univariate analysis of high volume LNM. Male (OR=5.152), tumor size >1 cm (OR=5.712) and age <40 years (OR=3.959) were conifrmed as independent risk factors of high volume LNM. Male (OR=3.105) and tumor size >1 cm (OR=3.863) were also demonstrated as independent risk factors of contralateral LNM in patients with solitary lesion in unilateral lobe, the prevalence of LNM were 26.5% in male and 26.1% in tumor size >1 cm, respectively.Conclusion:LNM was not “rare” in cN0 PTC patients. Prophylactic central neck dissection should be performed in cN0 patients with tumor size >1 cm. For cN0 microcarcinoma, more active surgical treatment may be considered in male and young patients.
