Papillary Carcinoma of Thyroid Presenting As Lateral Neck Cyst - A Diagnostic Dilemma
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Brachial cyst has been referred to be the main cause of cystic mass in the lateral aspect of neck in a young adult. However occult papillary carcinoma of thyroid can present as solitary cystic mass as the initial manifestation of the disease. A 32 years old male presented with lateral neck swelling since 2 years which on radiological investigations was suspected as vascular malformation. Excisional biopsy of the cystic mass revealed the papillary carcinoma of thyroid with metastasis to the adjacent lymph node. Tumor cells expressed TTF1. Radioisotope scan showed patchy tracer uptake. Total thyroidectomy with histopathological examination for the presence of papillary carcinoma in thyroid tissue is indicated in such cases. The case is being presented for its rarity and the diagnostic dilemma
