Metastases to cervical lymph node are fairly common in differentiated thyroid cancer. In iodine-refractory disease, the disease may persist in the thyroid bed, cervical lymph nodes, lungs, or the bones commonly. Retropharyngeal lymph nodal involvement in thyroid cancer is unusual and may even be the presenting complaint. We represent a case of iodine-refractory thyroid cancer with retropharyngeal lymph nodal involvement in addition to lung metastases.
分化型甲状腺癌发生颈部淋巴结转移相当常见。在碘难治性疾病中,疾病通常可能持续存在于甲状腺床、颈部淋巴结、肺部或骨骼。甲状腺癌累及咽后淋巴结并不常见,甚至可能是主要症状。我们报告一例碘难治性甲状腺癌,除肺转移外还累及咽后淋巴结。
