Abstract: lobe of the thyroid extending into isthmus [thyroid imaging reporting and data systems (TIRADS)-5].A pathological large hypoechoic node with altered internal echotexture (2.9 × 1.9 cm) was seen at the right level II.A few small, round hypoechoic nodes were also seen in the left level III region, which were suspicious of metastasis.USG-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from the right level II lymph node was suggestive of metastatic poorly differentiated Ca.Accordingly, a fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan of the whole body was done and was suggestive of metabolically active foci at right level II [maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) max 16.3], nodule in left lobe of thyroid (SUV max 5.2), and in right tonsillar fossa (SUV max 8.4) (Fig. 1).She was euthyroid, and her serum calcium was within normal range.After all necessary preoperative investigations
