Our aim in this study is to investigate potential distinguishing features as well as the biological and clinical aggressiveness of familial vs sporadic papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).

Histological variant, extrathyroidal extension, vascular invasion, tumour multifocality and bilateral growth were evaluated. Ploidy pattern was analysed in available samples by DNA flow cytometry. The probabilities of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated according to the Kaplan\u2013Meier (K\u2013M) method.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>No patient with familial PTC died of disease during follow-up (median, 72 months), contrarily to five patients (4.7%) (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.06) with sporadic PTC (median, 90 months). There was a significantly higher tumour multifocality in familial PTC (index cases subgroup) vs sporadic PTC (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.035), and a trend, in the familial PTC cohort with three or more affected elements, to show extrathyroidal extension (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>=0.054) more frequently.
