Abstract

Thyroid cancers invading the critical structures like trachea, oesophagus, recurrent laryngeal nerve and major vessels are uncommon. Even though uncommon, patients with large thyroid lesion (> 4 cm) or aggressive histology can present with features of invasion. Careful evaluation and appropriate surgical management is needed for optimal outcome. This case is presented to make our otolaryngology-head and neck surgeons aware of such unique situation where an incidental thyroid nodule presenting as haemoptysis due to tracheal invasion.
