Lymph node mapping helps in R0 resection for anaplastic thyroid carcinoma—report of a case with prolonged survival

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is a rare tumor, consisting 1–2% of all thyroid malignancies and presenting a high mortality rate. Median survival for patients undergoing primary surgery is approximately 6.6 months. We present a case of a patient treated with R0 resection, including total thyroidectomy...

description Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is a rare tumor, consisting 1–2% of all thyroid malignancies and presenting a high mortality rate. Median survival for patients undergoing primary surgery is approximately 6.6 months. We present a case of a patient treated with R0 resection, including total thyroidectomy and lymphadenectomy of levels III, IV, VI and VII after cervical lymph node mapping, oral 131I administration, and radiotherapy. Proper preoperative research, R0 resection and relatively early diagnosis, led to good prognosis, as the patient is currently totally disease-free, twelve months postoperatively.
