Unraveling a Diagnostic Dilemma: Coexisting Metastatic and Tuberculous Cervical Lymph Nodes in a Post-Ablative Thyroid Carcinoma Patient – A Case Report on Uncommon Dual Pathology

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Tubercular lymphadenitis can mimic cervical lymph node metastasis from papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) due to similarities in the distribution and imaging characteristics of the affected lymph nodes. Here we report a rare case of simultaneous metastatic deposits and tuberculosis (TB) within the cervical lymph nodes of a patient with thyroid carcinoma after 5 years of radioiodine ablation.
