Treatment decisions require information on many factors including lymph node metastasis, extrathyroidal extension, and bilaterality. With this aim, the present study analyzed clinicopathologic features of PTMC according to cut-off of tumor size. Methods: The clinicopathologic features of patients with PTMC between January 2007 and December 2009 were reviewed retrospectively from medical records. Patients were divided according to tumors lesser than or equal to cut-off (Group I) and tumors exceeding cut-off (Group II). Results: Both capsule invasion and lymphovascular invasion were significantly different at all cut-off diameters (5 9 mm). Central node metastasis revealed a difference in all cut-off values except 8 mm. Extrathyroidal extension differed at all cut-off values except 5 mm. Bilaterality displayed a statistically significantdifference only at the 8 mm cut-off. Conclusion: A cut-off of 5 mm represents a safe value to discriminate less aggressive from aggressive treatment for PTMC.

Arora 등 (2) 은갑상선미세유두암에서림프절전이와갑상선외침범과같은좋지않은특징이기존의갑상선유두암에서보이는것과비슷하다고보고하였고재발률에있어서도큰차이가없다고 (16.7% vs. 21.3%) 보고하였으며미세유두암을기존의유두암과동일하게치료해야한다고주장하였다. 반면, Ito 등 (1) 은기도와가깝게위치한종양, 갑상선의뒤쪽 (dorsal surface) 에위치한종양, 미세침흡인검사에서조직등급이높은경우, 임상적림프절전이가있는경우를좋지않은특징이라정의하며이러한특징을갖지않는종양은진단당시즉각적수술을시행하지않고추적관찰할수있다고보고하였다. 이저자들은 340명의환자들을평균 74개월동안추적관찰하였고경과관찰 5년후와 10년후종양의크기증가를보인경우는각각 6.4% 와 15.9% 였고림프절의전이를보인경우는각각 1.4% 와 3.4% 라고보고하였다. 종양의공격성과관련하여몇몇연구에서는갑상선미세유두암은기존의유두암보다공격성이적다고보고하였으며 (4-6) 일부연구들은갑상선미세유두암이기존의유두암이갖는공격성과비슷한특징을갖는다고보고하였다.(2,7,8) Hay 등 (9) 은갑상선미세유두암을갖는 900명의환자를 60년동안추적관찰한결과매우좋은예후를갖는다고보고하였다. 질환과관련된사망률은 0.3% 로보고하였고진단시림프절전이가있었던경우재발률이림프절전이가없었던경우보다높게관찰되었다 (16% vs. 0.8%). 그외재발에영향을주는인자로다발성, 양측성을언급하였다. 하지만일

Ito 등 (14) 은갑상선미세유두암을갖는환자를 7 mm 기준으로나누었을때 7 mm 미만의군에서보다 7 mm 이상의군에서림프절전이가더많았다고보고했다. 이는본연구에서 6 mm 기준으로나눈경우에해당한다. 본연구에서의결과로는크기가클수록림프절전이가많았기에연구결과만으로림프절절제술을생략해도될크기의기준을정하기는어려웠다. 갑상선의수술에서일측엽절제술을선택한경우남겨진반대쪽엽에서의재발이문제가될수있다. 신등 (15) 이보고한연구에의하면갑상선유두암에서양측성은 35.7% 의환자에서관찰되었고이환자들중 66% 에서는수술전반대쪽유두암이확인되지않은상태로전절제술를시행받았다. 그리고양측성은종양의크기가클수록관련이있었다. 본연구에서양측성은 19.5% 에서관찰되었다. 다발성및양측성이갑상선유두암에서국소재발과관련이있다는보고들이있다.(16,17) Giordano 등 (18) 은양측성은단변량, 다변량분석에서모두종양의재발과통계적유의성을보였다고보고하였다. 본연구에서종양의크기를 8 mm 기준으로구분했던경우양측성이통계적의미를보였기에종양의크기가 9 mm, 10 mm인갑상선미세유두암에서는반대쪽갑상선에대한종양의유무에대해주의깊은관찰이필요하다고생각한다. 따라서일측엽절제술을고려할경우 8 mm 이하의종양에서고려하는것이좋겠다. 저자들은본연구가갑상선미세유두암을 1 mm 간격의크기로임상병리학적특징을분석했다는점에서의의가있다고생각하지만, 후향적분석이라는점과장기간의추적관찰에따른재발률이다루어지지않았다는점에서더많은환자들에대한장기간의전향적연구로각종양의크기에따른재발률및생존율을분석한다면더좋은결과를얻으리라생각한다. 결 갑상선미세유두암을 5 mm 부터 10 mm까지 1 mm 간격으로구분하고각각의크기를기준으로임상병리학적특징을분석한결과, 전반적으로림프절전이, 피막침범, 갑상선외침범및혈관-림프관침범은크기가증가될수록빈도가증가되었고양측성은 8 mm를기준으로한경우통계적의미를보였다. 만약갑상선미세유두암에서덜공격적인치료로일측엽절제술을고려한다면수술전초음파에서반대쪽병변이관찰되지않는최소한 8 mm 이하의종양에서고려하는것이좋겠다. 하지만중앙경부림프절절제술의생략을결정하는경우는그기준을정하기는어렵고종양의크기가작을수록안전하다하겠다. 저자들은모든결과를고려할경우덜공격적인치료를고려하는경우종양의크기를 5 mm 기준으로하는것이안전하다고생각한다. 론 REFERENCES 1) Ito Y, Miyauchi A, Inoue H, Fukushima M, Kihara M, Higashiyama T, et al.
