Abstract

Thyroid gland carcinoma causing tumor thrombus in the great veins of the neck
and mediastinum is a rare condition with poor prognosis. Invasion of the internal jugular vein by
thyroid gland carcinoma has been occasionally reported, but tumor thrombi extending to the great
veins of the mediastinum are reported extremely rarely. We present a treatment approach in a case of
follicular thyroid carcinoma intravascular tumor thrombus in the left internal jugular and left brachiocephalic
vein.
