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.

- A 48-year-old man underwent surgery for recurrent metastatic parathyroid gland carcinoma in his neck, following an initial surgery for the same condition 28 months earlier.
- The surgical procedure involved removing the metastases along with the enlarged lower left parathyroid gland to reduce the risk of hypercalcemia and cancer recurrence, given the embryos' similarity in developing multiple tumors.
- Post-surgery, the patient received radiation therapy to further mitigate the chances of cancer recurrence and manage potential complications related to high calcium levels.
We present a case of a low energy penetrating neck injury with only facial nerve (FN) palsy in the clinical finding. A 32-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department with a penetrating injury on the right side of the neck just behind the right ear, accompanied by evident right (FN) palsy, evaluated as House Brackmann grade IV. Computed tomography demonstrated an isolated soft tissue injury in the right retroauricular region without bone fracture, parotid gland lesion, or vascular structure involvement.
