Papillary thyroid cancer favors lymphatic spread both within the thyroid gland and to the cervical lymph nodes. Hematogenous spread rarely occurs in the lung, bones and brain. We report a case where metastatic nodules from papillary thyroid cancer were seen in the right aryepiglottic fold (supraglottis) and lateral wall of hypopharynx, an extremely rare event.
甲状腺乳头状癌不仅在甲状腺内,而且在颈部淋巴结中都倾向于淋巴道转移。血行转移很少发生在肺部、骨骼和脑部。我们报告了一例甲状腺乳头状癌的转移结节出现在会厌皱襞(声门上区)和下咽外侧壁,这是一种极其罕见的事件。
