Abstract

Thyroid cancer has a good prognosis among all cancers, the disease being confined to the thyroid gland for a long time. Thyroid cancer with the direct invasion of internal jugular vein and SCM muscle is a rare condition. In carcinoma thyroid, extensive vascular invasion is considered as a risk factor for distant metastasis and early relapse. We report a case of carcinoma thyroid with internal jugular vein tumor thrombosis and sternocleidomastoid muscle invasion with review of literature.
