| Abstract | :
Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is frequent in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and is associated with a poor prognosis. Unlike central LNM (CLNM), there are few studies focusing on LLNM. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and the risk factors for LLNM, with its most prevalent sites. |
