EN BLOC SLEEVE RESECTION OF TRACHEA FOR PAPILLARY THYROID CANCER INVADING THE TRACHEA -- A CASE REPORT

AMUDHAN DURAIPANDIAN

Abstract


Well differentiated cancers of the thyroid
invading trachea are uncommon and preoperative
identification helps in planned
management. We report a 69 year old
man with thyroid cancer invading the trachea
that was successfully managed
with total thyroidectomy with en bloc tracheal
sleeve resection. We advocate aggressive
surgical extirpation for thyroid
carcinoma invading the trachea.
