ABSTRACT

Resumen Se comunica el caso de una paciente de 71 años de edad con antecedente tabáquico, ingresada por padecer infecciones recurrentes. Tenía aumento de volumen del hemicuello izquierdo con nódulo de 4 cm de diámetro de 15 años de evolución hasta llegar a dimensiones de 20 x 15 cm. Se resecó de manera completa, excepto por su infiltración a la tráquea que quedó como remanente. El diagnóstico histopatológico fue: carcinoma papilar de tiroides infiltrante a la tráquea. En relación con este caso, se recomienda no dejar a libre evolución porque la incidencia del carcinoma papilar de tiroides asociado con bocio multinodular es similar a la encontrada en nódulos fríos solitarios, por lo que se recomienda actuar de manera temprana con cirugía.


Abstract This paper reports the case of a 71-year-old female with a history of tobacco addiction who presented with recurrent infections. She had an increase of volume of left neck with nodule of 4 cm of diameter of 15 years of evolution until arriving at dimensions of 20 x 15 cm. It was completely dry except for its infiltration into the trachea that remained as a remnant. The histopathological diagnosis was: papillary carcinoma of the thyroid infiltrating to trachea. Regarding this case, it is recommended not to leave free evolution, since the incidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma associated with multinodular goiter is similar to that found in solitary cold nodules, which is why it is recommended to act early with surgery.
