Childhood Adenosquamous Carcinoma of the Thyroid Gland; A Case Report

Abstract

A case of childhood adenosquamous carcinoma of the thyroid gland is reported. Among the malignant tumors of the thyroid gland, squamous cell carcinoma is seen in only about 100 and no case in childhood has been reported in Japan.
Our patient was a 15-year-old female who underwent total thyroidectomy and received radioiodine therapy. Carcinoma recurred in the right neck two years later. Conservative radical neck dissection was performed. Six years after the first operation, she is alive.
