Family papillary microcarcinoma of the thyroid gland is observed in 3–10 % of patients with cancer from follicular epithelial cells. Diagnosis and treatment are controversial. Three patients from the same family of the first degree of kinship were operated for family papillary microcarcinoma of the thyroid gland in Voronezh Regional Clinical Hospital No. 1. Only the first patient complained of the neck deformity, her son and granddaughter had an asymptomatic course of the disease. Metastases to the lymph nodes of the neck and bilateral localization of the tumor were not revealed. In the third generation, multifocal tumor growth was diagnosed at the age of 19. All patients underwent thyroidectomy. In the first patient, the period of relapse–free follow-up after surgery was 18 years, in the second and third – 5 years. In the family form of papillary thyroid carcinoma, we consider active screening of relatives justified since the disease in the new generation may develop at a younger age and with the risk of multifocal thyroid damage even in microcarcinomas.
