ObjectiveThymoid carcinoma of the thyroid gland is a rare thyroid tumor, which is often presented in case reports.MethodsThe clinical data of two patients with thymic carcinoma of the thyroid gland were retrospectively reviewed.ResultsCase 1: a middle-aged woman who was admitted to the hospital because of “progressive enlargement of the anterior cervical mass for 8 months.” Color Doppler ultrasound and CT showed malignant tumor with high possibility of bilateral cervical lymph node metastasis. Total thyroidectomy and bilateral central cervical lymph node dissection were performed. Lymph node biopsy showed the metastasis of small cell undifferentiated thyroid carcinoma. Because the biopsy pathological result was not consistent with the pathology of the primary lesion, immunohistochemistry was performed again, and the final diagnosis was thymic carcinoma in the thyroid gland. Case 2: the patient was an elderly man who was admitted to the hospital due to hoarseness for half a month. During the operation, the tumor invaded the trachea, esophagus, internal jugular vein, common carotid artery, and surrounding tissues. Palliative resection of the tumor was performed. The tumor postoperative pathology suggested thymoid carcinoma of the thyroid gland. It recurred and compressed the trachea 4 months after the operation, resulting in dyspnea of the patient, and finally tracheotomy was performed to alleviate the symptoms.ConclusionCase 1 showed multiple differences in pathological diagnosis, suggesting that the lack of specific imaging and clinical manifestations of thymoid-differentiated thyroid carcinoma made the diagnosis so difficult. Case 2 progressed rapidly, suggesting that thymoid-differentiated thyroid carcinoma was not always inert, and the treatment and follow-up should follow the principle of individualization.
