Abstract

Thyroid carcinoma is relatively uncommon with varying geographic incidence. We could collect 83 cases over a span of twelve years and our analysis provide that the frequency of thyroid carcinoma is low in Eastern Libya. It also confirmed the female predominance, common occurrence around the fourth decade of life, and that papillary carcinoma was the most common histological type.
