Metachronous carcinoma of aberrant struma and thyroid gland (clinical case)

Abstract

A clinical case of a rare combination of thyroid cancer and aberrant struma is described. unusual intraoperative diagnosis during reoperation is due to the metachronous nature of the occurrence of primary malignant tumors. The complexity of diagnosing the considered combined tumor pathology on the anterior-lateral surface of the neck is associated with the extremely rare detection of lateral aberrant struma with malignancy in clinical practice, especially against the background of recurrence of the disease with synchronous regional metastases of highly differentiated thyroid cancer.
