Abstract:
We described two patients of thyroid cancer with tracheal invasion. A 54-aged female visited our hospital with complaint of the neck pain. Echography showed a tumor in the right lobe of the thyroid. In operation the thyroid tumor invaded the trachea and right recurrent nerve. A 24-aged male visited our hospital with complaint of a mass of the left side neck. Echography showed a tumor in the left lobe of the thyroid. In operation the thyroid tumor invaded the trachea, lymph node and left recurrent nerve. In these two cases we could find thyroid tumors invaded into the trachea by echography. We re-evaluated the utility of echography.
