We are reporting a case series of Thyroid cancer patients seen in a private endocrine clinic in Kathmandu. This is a retrospective review of case series of Thyroid cancer patients coming to a private endocrine clinic in Kathmandu from August 2014 to end of August 2015. Total number of patients was 16, aged between 25 to 80 years old. Male were two in number, female were fourteen in number. Total numbers of follicular Thyroid cancer were three. Most of the cases were of TNM stage 1 according to AJCC cancer staging. There was one metastatic cancer. Most of the cases were referred in early stage. Advanced stage cancer may have been referred to oncologist and thus is not reflected in our data. Most common cancer reported was papillary Thyroid cancer. This is a small case series reporting Thyroid cancer in Nepal and further large studies are needed to define the nature and stages of Thyroid cancer in Nepal.
