  • Title: Insular carcinoma of thyroid presenting as cervical cord compression.
    Author: Ganly I, Crowther J.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2000 Oct; 114(10):808-10. PubMed ID: 11127160.
    Abstract:
    Insular carcinoma of thyroid is a very rare subtype of thyroid carcinoma which is characterized by its advanced stage at presentation and aggressive clinical course. We describe a case of insular carcinoma of the thyroid presenting in an unusual fashion with cervical cord compression at initial presentation. Cord compression is shown to be due to spinal metastases from vascular spread of the tumour and this typifies the high metastatic potential of this tumour subtype.
