The Papillary carcinoma is the most frequent neoplasic tumour of the thyroid gland. It accounts for 70-75% of all malignant thyroid tumours. In 80-90% of cases it presents as a slow-growing single thyroid node. Nevertheless, in 10-26% of cases, the initial presentation is a lateral neck mass without palpable thyroid mass. We present the case of a 67 year- old patient who attended to the ENT out-patient clinic with a lateral neck mass which had been growing slowly over the course of number of years.
乳头状癌是甲状腺最常见的肿瘤性病变。它占所有甲状腺恶性肿瘤的70 - 75%。在80 - 90%的病例中，表现为单个生长缓慢的甲状腺结节。然而，在10 - 26%的病例中，最初表现为颈部外侧肿块，而甲状腺肿块触诊不明显。我们报告一例67岁患者，因颈部外侧肿块数年缓慢生长而就诊于耳鼻喉科门诊。
