Thyroid carcinoma usually presents as an asymptomatic thyroid nodule. Thyroid cancer may show microscopic vascular invasion; however, internal jugular vein tumor thrombus is a rare complication of thyroid cancer. A unique case of internal jugular vein tumor thrombus associated with thyroid carcinoma is presented and discussed.
