[Epidermoid carcinoma of the thyroid]

About thyroid neoplasms the epidermoidal carcinoma represents an ingrown minority (0.3-0.74%). Several etiopathological hypotheses are considered and this testifies the notable uncertainty that still winds the origin of the neoplasm. In the actual case, the more accredited hypothesis foresees the origin of the neoplasm from a histopathological of Hashimotos' tyhroiditis. The objectivity of the case in examination constitutes the clinical picture of reference of the malignant neoplasms of the thyroid: oligosintomatic low cervical mass of increased consistence, adherent to the imminent pianos strictly following laryngeal movements, dysfagia and dysfonia. Additionally they were present pulmonary and right cervical lymphonodal metastases. After an adjuvant treatment with Paraplatin and 5-FU, to some months from the intervention of total thyroidectomy, local relapse in form of a festered mass is highlighted in sovrajugular region with result in cutaneous-esophagustracheal fistula. The diagnosis of certainty of the neoplasm, despite the rarity, it doesn't constitute a problem, albeit the percents of survival, anyway substantially more favorable respect to anaplastic neoplasms, concerning to as numerical as chronological aspects, result to be hardly discouraging.
