invasion (52.2%) and initial nodal metastasis (34.9%) in patients with PMC was surprisingly high and almost as high as that for patients with PTC (72.4% and 51.8%, respectively). The rate of recurrent or persistent disease did not differ between patients with PMC and PTC (recurrent or persistent disease, 6.1% vs 14.1%; 53.4- vs 84.2-month follow-up; n = 98 vs 647; corrected p = .112). The frequency of BRAFV600E mutation was similar in patients with PMC and PTC (65.6% vs 67.2%). Immunohistochemical staining showed no different expression pattern according to the tumor size.Conclusion.These results suggest that PMC is not an occult cancer and it can act like larger PTC. Therefore, PMC should not be underestimated in practice. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
