We report a case of a parapharyngeal cystic metastatic lymph node arising from papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Parapharyngeal metastases arising from PTC are rare and correct diagnosis of the parapharyngeal mass before surgery is difficult. In this case, the diagnosis of a parapharyngeal mass was made pre-operatively by thyroglobulin measurement in peroral fine-needle aspiration with negative cytology.
我们报告一例源自甲状腺乳头状癌（PTC）的咽旁囊性转移性淋巴结病例。PTC引起的咽旁转移罕见，术前准确诊断咽旁肿块困难。在此病例中，术前通过经口细针穿刺抽吸术中甲状腺球蛋白测量并结合阴性细胞学结果诊断出咽旁肿块。
