Preoperative imaging and laboratory data had no specific value in the diagnosis of this merged different histologic types of thyroid malignant tumors. Radical resection in combination of hormonal therapy and 131I radiotherapy achieved a satisfactory result, though thyroid malignant tumor combined with thyroid cancer usually predict a poor prognosis.
