Papillary thyroid neoplasm: An incidental malignant nodule.

Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), a common neoplasm originating from thyroid follicular cells, represents 85% of thyroid malignancy. PTC is known to metastasize to adjacent structures. Studies report that 5-15% of detected thyroid nodules represent malignancy; here, we report a 51-year-old woman with incidental thyroid nodules identified on the cervical spine.
