Fine-needle aspiration was once done in suspected malignant thyroid nodules more than 5 mm in diameter. Five millimeter has been applied in many studies as the cut off tumor size in recent years. In this study, we would like to analyze the clinicopathological and ultrasonographic features of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) ≤5 mm and >5 mm with the aim of finding out the diagnostic value of ultrasonography.
