ABSTRACT

Thyroid carcinoma is characterized by its low mortality and low incidence. The regional metastatic forms are the most common metastases forms that generally occur in cervical ganglia. It is presented a case of unusual and infrequent metastases of thyroid cancer but with common presentation characters in terms of gender and age in these cystic lesions of the neck.
