Папиллярные карциномы щитовидной железы (ПКЩЖ) считаются относительно часто скрытыми и  случайными находками, с  хорошим прогнозом и  благоприятными исходами лечения. Несмотря на  эти данные, метастазы в  центральные лимфатические узлы (ЦЛУ) встречаются часто и связаны с негативными последствиями и прогнозом для пациента. Целью настоящего исследования является оценка частоты метастазирования в центральную группу лимфатических узлов ЦЛУ у большинства пациентов с папиллярной карциномой ЩЖ с p‑T1a в течение 10 лет и выявление возможных факторов риска, связанных с наличием метастазов в ЦЛУ. Материалы и методы. Было проведено ретроспективное когортное исследование в Межтерриториальном центре эндокринной хирургии г. Краснодара. В период с января 2010 по январь 2022 года 3013 пациентам была выполнена тиреоидэктомия. В общей сложности 2818 пациентов были исключены из исследования после тиреоидэктомии с окончательным доброкачественным гистологическим исследованием, возрастом &lt; 18 лет, c фолликулярной, медуллярной, анапластической карциномой, смешанным типом рака щитовидной железы размером опухоли &gt; 1 см и стадией pT1b-pT4. В анализ были включены 195 пациентов с pT1a с диагнозом ПКЩЖ. Всем пациентам была выполнена тиреоидэктомия и профилактическая или терапевтическая стандартизированная лимфодиссекция. Результаты и  обсуждение. В  проведенном многофакторном анализе метастазы в лимфатические узлы центрального генеза присутствуют в значительном числе случаев у пациентов с ПКЩЖ после органосохраняющей операции. Поэтому тщательная предоперационная оценка у  пациентов с  неподтвержденным метастазированием в  лимфоузлы (N0) является обязательной для более правильного выбора наиболее эффективного хирургического лечения. Заключение. Результаты нашего исследования показывают, что метастазы в ЦЛУ присутствуют в значительном числе случаев у пациентов с ПКЩЖ после резекции щитовидной железы. Комбинированное использование этих результатов вместе с предоперационным ультразвуковым исследованием может помочь клиницистам точно оценить вероятность наличия метастазов в ЦЛУ у пациентов с ПКЩЖ, что полезно для определения надлежащего индивидуального хирургического планирования.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Introduction. Papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC) are considered relatively common occult and incidental findings, with generally good prognosis and favorable outcome. Despite this, metastases to the central lymph nodes (CLN) occur frequently and are associated with adverse consequences and prognosis for patients. The aim of the present study was to assess the frequency of central lymph node metastases in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma staged as pT1a over a 10-year period, and to identify possible risk factors associated with the presence of CLN metastases. Materials and methods. A retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Interterritorial Endocrine Surgery Center, Krasnodar. Between January 2010 and January 2022, thyroidectomy was performed in 3013 patients. A total of 2818 patients were excluded from the study following thyroidectomy due to final benign histological findings, age under 18 years, follicular, medullary, anaplastic carcinoma, mixed-type thyroid carcinoma, tumor size &gt; 1 cm, and stages pT1b–pT4. The analysis included 195 patients with pT1a papillary thyroid carcinoma. All patients underwent thyroidectomy and prophylactic or therapeutic standardized lymph node dissection. Results and discussion. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that central lymph node metastases were present in a significant number of cases in patients with PTC after organ preservation surgery. Therefore, in order to choose the most effective surgical treatment, careful preoperative evaluation is warranted for patients without confirmed lymph node metastases (N0). Conclusion. The results of our study indicate that CLN metastases are present in a considerable proportion of patients with PTC after thyroid resection. Combining these findings with preoperative ultrasonography may assist clinicians in accurately assessing whether CLN metastases are present in patients with PTC, thereby facilitating appropriate surgical planning for each individual patient.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>папиллярная карцинома щитовидной железы</kwd><kwd>метастазы в лимфоузлы</kwd><kwd>микрокарцинома щитовидной железы</kwd><kwd>профилактическая лимфодиссекция</kwd><kwd>иссечение тканей шеи</kwd><kwd>тиреоидэктомия</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>papillary thyroid carcinoma</kwd><kwd>lymph node metastases</kwd><kwd>thyroid microcarcinoma</kwd><kwd>prophylactic lymph node dissection</kwd><kwd>neck tissue excision</kwd><kwd>thyroidectomy</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Данная работа не финансировалась.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This work is not funded.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Lee J.-H., Hwang Y., Song R.-Y., Yi J.W., Yu H.W., Kim S.-J., et al.
