        abstract = {Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of differentiated thyroid cancer, accounting for approximately 80% of all thyroid malignancies. Although its prevalence is higher in women, men usually present with larger tumors, a higher risk of cervical lymph node metastases, and a greater potential for aggressive behavior. Early recognition, accurate diagnosis, and multidisciplinary management are essential to improve prognosis.
We report the case of a 65-year-old male patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma associated with bilateral cervical lymph node metastases and post-thyroidectomy fistulization. Clinical follow-up, radiological and cytological investigations, surgical strategy, adjuvant radioactive iodine therapy, and thyroid hormone replacement therapy are detailed.
This case highlights the importance of comprehensive management and rigorous follow-up in male patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma.},
