Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Patients with head and neck Squamous cell carcinoma are at increased risk for the development of a second primary malignancy (SPM), defined as a second malignancy that presents either simultaneously or after the diagnosis of an index tumor. Here, we report a case of a rare synchronous presentation of follicular variant of Papillary carcinoma (FVPC) of thyroid and Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of cricopharynx. A 35 year old female presented with swelling in front of neck since 8 months. Ultrasonography revealed hypoehoic lesion in both lobes of thyroid and lymph node enlargement. Patient underwent thyroidectomy and modified neck dissection. A diagnosis of follicular variant of papillary carcinoma thyroid was made with metastasis from thyroid in two out of five (2/5) lymph nodes and one lymph node showed Squamous cell carcinoma deposits.SCC was found to be from cricopharynx by endoscopy and postoperative histopathological examination of cricopharynx.
