Abstract

The present study reports the case of a 64‑year‑old patient with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and tracheal invasion, along with primary lung cancer. Firstly, the patient received tumor electrocautery under tracheoscopy to enlarge the space for tracheal intubation. Next, the patient received one‑stage radical thyroidectomy, with window resection of the trachea and thoracoscopic radical resection of the lung cancer. The patient was discharged safely after several days of therapy. To the best of our knowledge, this case is the first reported case of a one‑stage radical thyroidectomy with a window resection of the trachea and thoracoscopic radical resection of the lung cancer in the literature. Simultaneous surgery for PTC with tracheal invasion and lung cancer is a great challenge for the patient and the surgeon. Appropriate surgical management of the tracheal invasion is of great importance to the operation and prognosis. This case may provide reference for surgeons in similar situations.
