The thyroid gland's neurovascular relationship is commonly portrayed as the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) coursing posteriorly to the thyroid gland. We report a rare case with the RLN running anteriorly to a thyroid tumor. A 56-year-old Japanese woman underwent a thyroidectomy for a benign thyroid tumor.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Tomo Ishizaka"

  • - Tomo Ishizaka's recent research highlights a unique anatomical variation where the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) courses anteriorly to a thyroid tumor, challenging common perceptions of its typical posterior course.
  • - The case study involves a 56-year-old Japanese woman who underwent thyroidectomy for a benign thyroid tumor, emphasizing the importance of thorough anatomical understanding during surgical procedures.
  • - This work contributes to the field of thyroid surgery by raising awareness of atypical RLN paths, which could have significant implications for surgical outcomes and patient safety.
