Unusual Clinical Manifestations of Thyroid Carcinoma
Thyroid cancer is considered the most common endocrine malignancy, with the most frequent presentation of differentiated thyroid cancer being a neck swelling or an incidental finding of a thyroid nodule on imaging. In this case series, we describe three cases of thyroid cancer with unusual clinical...

description | Thyroid cancer is considered the most common endocrine malignancy, with the most frequent presentation of differentiated thyroid cancer being a neck swelling or an incidental finding of a thyroid nodule on imaging. In this case series, we describe three cases of thyroid cancer with unusual clinical manifestations. The first case describes a patient who underwent parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism and was found to have papillary thyroid cancer on a cervical lymph node biopsy. While this may be coincidental, the literature raises the question of whether there may be an association. The second case describes a patient who presents with a suspicious thyroid nodule and was subsequently diagnosed with follicular thyroid cancer on biopsy. This raises the question of performing thyroidectomy early in patients with a suspicious thyroid nodule but a false negative biopsy. The third case describes a patient with a scalp lesion found to have poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma, a rare presentation of this form of cancer. |
