dc.description.abstractObjective: Papillary microcarcinomas constitute more than half of thyroid cancers and incidentally detected between 2.7% and 36% ratios in all age groups in autopsy studies. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the incidental papillary thyroid carcinoma in surgical materials sent to the pathology department of 60 years and older patients. Materials and methods: In this study, 307 thyroid surgery materials were screened from the archive of the Department of Pathology in Iskenderun State Hospital between January 2012 and November 2013. 27 thyroid specimens of patients over 60 years and older with definite diagnosis were evaluated. Results: Between the ages of 60 to 84 the mean age of the patients was 65.70 +/- 5.60. 19 (70.37%) of the patients were females, 8 (29.63%) of the patients were males. Histopathological examination of the subjects revealed nodular goiter in 16 (59.26%) cases, lymphocytic thyroiditis in 3 (11.11%) cases, granulomatous thyroiditis in one (3.70%) case, thyroid tumors in 6 (22.22%) cases. In this age group no benign tumors ( adenomas ) have been detected and all of the six tumors (22.22%) were malignant. Type of cancer were detected as oncocytic carcinoma in one(3.70%) case and papillary carcinoma in 5 (19.52%) cases. Conclusion: In our study we detected that 22.22 % of thyroid pathologies of over 60 years old patients were malignant . In this study, although the number of cases is small, we reached a remarkable conclusion in terms of the frequency of malignant thyroid pathologies in the elderly. Further prospective studies with a greater number of patients will be beneficial.en_US
