Popis: Lymph nodes are the most common place of recurrence of papillary thyroid cancer, and surgery can be considered a therapeutic option. The risks of surgery increase with every intervention. We present 3 cases of cervical non palpable thyroid cancer recurrence managed with I125 seed radioguided cervical dissection from 2017 to 2019. Two of the cases had already a thyroidectomy and central compartment lymphadenectomy performed. The seed was placed guided by US on the lesion and its position was confirmed afterwards. The target was successfully localized in 100% of cases. There was no post surgery complications. There was no evidence of recurrence with a mean follow up of 15 months. Radioguided surgery using I125 seed it is a save technique and it offers a precise localization of the non palpable thyroid cancer recurrence.
