Abstract:
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma usually presents with symptoms related to local invasion and compression of structures in the neck. We report a patient with intra-abdominal metastases presenting with symptoms suggestive of local gastrointestinal disease. Abdominal CT scan and initial laparotomy findings were suggestive of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
