小児の甲状腺がん

疫学・臨床像を中心に 放射線関連の小児甲状腺がんと放射線被ばく歴のない小児甲状腺がんとの間には、臨床像・予後に差がないことが知られている。(Tuttle RM 2011) 小児甲状腺がんの頻度は少ないが、その臨床像は判ってきている (Ito Y. Kuma Hospital 2012)。

小児の甲状腺がんの臨床像は、成人の甲状腺がんとは違っている。
小児の場合、局所への浸潤やリンパ節への広がりを起こしている人が90%。肺への遠隔転移を起こしている人が20%。

本人家族が気づくことが少なく、検診等で頚部腫瘤や甲状腺結節を発見される事が多い。
発症時に、他の症状(飲み込みにくい・声ガレ・痛み)を伴うことは少ない。

成人の乳頭がんと違い、小児の甲状腺乳頭がんは、局所浸潤しやすく、発症時に肺へ遠隔転移を起こしているもとも多い。
初回治療の後の再発の頻度も高い。
にもかかわらず、5年生存率と10年生存率は非常に高い。

甲状腺結節を触れる事は小児では多くない。組織学的に2%以下の"prevalence"と報告されている。

@myen Bauer "Thyroid nodules are thought to be relatively uncommon in children, historically reported at a prevalence of less than 2% (17)"

成人の甲状腺結節と違い、小児の甲状腺結節の50%は悪性かもしれない。
