Abstract

Deep neck infection is defined as an infectious process in the potential spaces and fascial plane of the neck which may result in a fatal complication. Prompt drainage and broad-spectrum antibiotics are the mainstays of treatment. Deep neck infection as the initial presentation of primary head and neck cancer is not common. Nevertheless, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is the most common primary head and neck cancer, which could present with cervical metastasis and subsequently becomes infected. Papillary thyroid cancer has a naturally indolent course, and most patients present with a thyroid nodule. However, deep neck infection could be an uncommon presentation of papillary thyroid cancer which may obscure the diagnosis of underlying malignancy. This case report aims to present a rare presentation of papillary thyroid cancer which needs meticulous evaluation. Moreover, the pathological examination should be performed in all cases of deep neck infection for early detection and management of underlying papillary thyroid cancer.

深颈部感染:甲状腺乳头状癌的不典型表现。
深颈部感染是指颈部潜在间隙和筋膜平面的感染过程,可导致致命的并发症。及时引流和广谱抗生素是治疗的主要手段。深颈部感染作为原发性头颈部癌的最初表现并不常见。然而,头颈部鳞状细胞癌是最常见的原发性头颈部癌症,它可能出现宫颈转移,随后发生感染。甲状腺乳头状癌病程自然无痛,多数患者表现为甲状腺结节。然而,深颈部感染可能是一种罕见的乳头状甲状腺癌的表现,这可能会掩盖潜在恶性肿瘤的诊断。本病例报告的目的是提出一个罕见的表现乳头状甲状腺癌,需要细致的评估。此外,所有深颈部感染病例都应进行病理检查,以便早期发现和处理潜在的甲状腺乳头状癌。
