Key result
Case report describes treatment for rare follicular thyroid carcinoma thrombus in jugular and brachiocephalic veins.
Why the study?
Thyroid carcinoma tumor thrombi extending to the great veins of the mediastinum carry a poor prognosis and are extremely rarely reported.
Case Report (n=1)
Describes a treatment approach for a rare presentation of follicular thyroid carcinoma with tumor thrombus extending into the great veins of the mediastinum.
Single-case report of FTC venous thrombus resection may guide rare presentations; leaves open need for systematic outcome data.
Thyroid gland carcinoma causing tumor thrombus in the great veins of the neck and mediastinum is a rare condition with poor prognosis. Invasion of the internal jugular vein by thyroid gland carcinoma has been occasionally reported, but tumor thrombi extending to the great veins of the mediastinum are reported extremely rarely. We present a treatment approach in a case of follicular thyroid carcinoma intravascular tumor thrombus in the left internal jugular and left brachiocephalic vein.
