Abstract

Nodular goiter affects numerous individuals worldwide. As the thyroid enlarges, it normally extends into the mediastinum as a result of its anatomical location under the investing layer of the deep cervical fascia. The present study reports the rare case of a 76‑year‑old man who suffered from a goiter with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma, who presented as a subcutaneous partially cystic with solid areas lesion over the chest. The patient underwent surgery and on histopathological examination, the predominant mass was characterized as a multinodular goiter with hemorrhage, necrosis and cystic change. A papillary thyroid microcarcinoma with a diameter of 0.2 cm was identified. The present study demonstrated a rare, to the best of our knowledge, presentation of a benign multinodular goiter in this way.
