Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Schwannoma is a rare benign tumor of nerve fibers that originates from neuronal sheath cells; it is frequently located extramedullary and about 25-45 % of this type of neoplastic lesion is localized in the head and in the neck. Primary schwannoma of the thyroid gland is very uncommon. We report the case of a 50-year-old female patient affected by schwannoma of the thyroid gland underwent total thyroidectomy for nodule of the left lobe suspicious for neoplasm, without complications. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Italia.
