A 26-year-old woman was referred to our outpatient clinic, presenting with growing left sided neck mass. She was in remission of Graves’ disease for the last two years.Ultrasound examination revealed isoechogenic nodule with microcalcifications in the upper third of the left thyroid lobe measuring 9×6×6 mm and conglomerate of lymph nodes on the left side of the neck, the largest node measuring 37×21×13 mm. Behind the lower pole of the left thyroid lobe we found lymph node. Fine needle aspiration of the isoechogenic nodule in the left thyroid lobe, conglomerate of lymph nodes on the left side of the neck and lymph node behind the lower pole of the left thyroid lobe revealed papillary carcinoma. Total thyroidectomy with left modified radical neck dissection was performed. Histopathological examination confirmed papillary thyroid carcinoma with intraglandular dissemination and metastases to 18 out of 26 lymph nodes. Patient recived ablative-therapeutic dose of 3.83 GBq of I-131. Now, 6 years later, the patient is disease free.
