A PRESENTATION OF ANAPLASTIC CARCINOMA OF THE THYROID WITH SYMPTOMATIC INTRA‐ABDOMINAL METASTASES

Abstract

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma usually presents with symptoms related to local invasion and compression of structures in the neck. We report a patient with intra-abdominal metastases presenting with symptoms suggestive of local gastrointestinal disease. Abdominal CT scan and initial laparotomy findings were suggestive of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
