Dr. K. Suhas, Dr. G. V. S Abhishek

Abstract :

 Differentiated thyroid cancer is, usually, associated with an excellent prognosis and indolent course. Distant metastases are rare events at the onset of thyroid cancer. Among these presentations, metastasis to the axillary lymph nodes is even more unusual. Only few cases of papillary carcinoma with axillary nodal metastasis were previously reported in the literature. We present a 60–year–old female who came to general surgery department in ASRAM eluru with chief complaints of swelling in front of the neck and in the left axillary swelling since 3 months . Investigations later revealed diagnosis of papillary carcinoma of thyroid and metastatic deposits in left axillary lymphnodes.
