Abstract
- A giant thyroid mass can be associated with severe compressive symptoms, requiring surgery for treatment. This paper reports the case of an 82-year-old man who presented with a giant thyroid mass that was suspected of being a metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma on fineneedle aspiration cytology. A harmonic scalpel was used to excise the giant thyroid mass. A pectoralis major myocutaneous flap was used for reconstruction. The histopathology assessment confirmed the metastases in the lymph node and papillary thyroid carcinoma in the resected gland.
