Background: Thyroid rests are common and arise during embryological development, with aberrant descent of thyroid tissue along the thyro-thymic tract. These give rise to a range of pathologies, including goitre formation and malignancy. Thyroid rests have been graded I-IV based on their connection to the thyroid gland proper - grade I is a short protuberance, grade II & III are connected via a pedicle and fibrous band respectively, and grade IV is completely disconnected.

Article Synopsis
- - The case centers on a 67-year-old woman with both papillary and follicular thyroid carcinomas, initially diagnosed with thyrotoxicosis from Graves' disease, presenting with severe metastasis and invasive tumor growth.
- - Investigation revealed multiple metastases, including intra-cardiac tumor thrombus and bone fractures, leading to a diagnosis of synchronous thyroid cancer types, yet the patient chose palliative care over aggressive treatment options.
- - The case highlights the challenges in accurately diagnosing synchronous thyroid malignancies and the limitations of the ACR TI-RADS system in detecting certain ultrasonographic features that indicate cancer, especially in patients with Graves' disease.
