Popis: Introduction: We aimed to determine whether two clinically accessible parameters, tumor size and location within the thyroid, correlate with clinicopathological features that are predictors of high risk in papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMCs). Materials and Methods: PTMC cases were obtained from the database of the Department of Pathology, Emergency County Hospital, Târgu Mureş, Romania. Four tumor groups were created based on tumor size and location: Group I (≥5 mm, subcapsular), Group II (≥5 mm, nonsubcapsular), Group III (
