Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is a rare childhood malignancy, as it represents 0.3-0.4% of pediatric malignancies. Papillary carcinoma is the most common type of pediatric DTC and it represents about 90% of all DTC patients. Although rare, DTC arising from dyshormonogenetic goiter is the most serious complication of congenital hypothyroidism.
