Soft tissue lesion is seen near the thyroidectomy bed, at the tracheo-oesophagal groove.
Case Discussion
I131 WB scan is negative though the patient has high Thyroglobulin (TG) level (2000 ng/mL) suggestive of recurrence or metastasis. The presence of soft tissue nodule at thyroidectomy bed favor recurrent papillary thyroid cancer.
