ABSTRACT
Papillary thyroid carcinoma with massive invasion into the great veins of the neck and mediastinum has rarely been reported and is thought to have a poor prognosis. But multimodal therapeutic approach comprising of surgery, radioiodine and external beam radiotherapy may give best results for patients in whom thyroid cancer is occluding the great veins.
