Invasive papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) can rarely invade adjacent vital structures. There has been one report on secondary brachial plexopathy associated with locally invasive PTC. Here we report a patient with a large locally invasive PTC associated with secondary neoplastic brachial plexopathy. The case exhibits an extremely rare occurrence that has substantial impact on surgical planning and management.
侵袭性乳头状甲状腺癌(PTC)很少侵犯相邻的重要结构。有一篇关于局部侵袭性PTC伴发继发性臂丛神经病变的报道。在此,我们报告一例患有大型局部侵袭性PTC并伴发继发性肿瘤性臂丛神经病变的患者。该病例显示出一种极为罕见的情况,对手术规划和管理有重大影响。
