Abstract:
A 22-year-old female patient complained of neck discomfort for one week. Examination revealed bilateral neck masses. Color doppler ultrasound showed bilateral thyroid masses,which resulted in two thyroid lobes asymmetry. Bilateral cervical enlarged lymph nodes were not found. Thyroid function was normal. Complete left lobe and subtotal right lobe of thyroid gland were resected. The pathological results showed poorly differentiated carcinoma of left thyroid and papillary carcinoma of right thyroid with bilateral Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The patient received resection of residual thyroid and lymph nodes in another hospital, with no tumor or metastasis found. The patient without radiotherapy or chemotherapy was followed up for 34 months, and no progressive lesions were found.
