Sumario:BACKGROUND: Collision tumors are two histologically distinct types of malignancies within the same mass and organ. The aim of this study is to present a case series of thyroid collisions. METHODS: This was a multicenter retrospective case series study. The participants were consecutive in order. Socio-demographic and clinical data were obtained from hospital records. RESULTS: The study included eight cases comprising six (75%) females and two (25%) males. The patients had different presentations, including neck swelling, dyspnea, and dizziness. The pathology was successfully determined through fine-needle aspiration. Four patients (50%) underwent lobectomy, whereas the other half (four patients) underwent total thyroidectomy. CONCLUSION: Collision tumors of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTA) or medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and FTA are exceedingly rare phenomena that most commonly affect females. Complete or partial thyroidectomy is the ideal management of choice for these cases and is associated with good survival.
