Article Synopsis
- A rare combination of Branchial Cleft Cyst (BCC) and Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC) can lead to serious health issues, especially if doctors don't look closely enough at neck masses in older patients.
- A 48-year-old man had surgery for a neck mass and tests showed he had both a BCC and metastatic PTC, meaning the cancer spread to his neck.
- The situation shows that these types of cancers can be very dangerous together, so doctors need to work together to take good care of patients.
Background: By comparing the three lateral approaches to thyroidectomy, the feasibility and clinical effects were analyzed, and the advantages of the lateral approach were summarized.
Methods: From January 2022 to January 2023, 52 patients with thyroid cancer admitted to our department were selected and subjected to Lateral approach for thyroidectomy. Among them, 31 patients underwent thyroidectomy via the supraclavicular approach, 13 patients underwent endoscopic thyroidectomy via the subclavicular approach, and 8 patients underwent endoscopic thyroidectomy via the axillary approach.
