ABSTRACT
Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common thyroid malignancy and it frequently causes lymph node metastases. Approximately 50% of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma have cervical lymph node metastases at the time of their initial presentation. Here we report a case of a young female who presented with a benign-appearing cystic neck mass, which was revealed to be metastases from occult papillary thyroid carcinoma. Completion thyroidectomy and neck dissection were done after the diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
