Enlarging Painful Neck Mass in a Child: Urgent or Elective?

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid is a very rare malignant tumor with poor prognosis. It is usually diagnosed as an advanced disease infiltrating adjacent organs, and characterized by aggressive clinical course with an average postoperative survival time of less than 1 year. Recently, we had a 79- year-old woman with a painful neck mass who was diagnosed as primary squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid gland. She underwent total thyroidectomy and selective neck dissection(level Ⅲ, Ⅵ) with no further postoperative managements such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy; she died of poor general condition and pneumonia resulting from rapid progression of the lesion on the 38th day after surgery. We report this case with a review of relevant literatures.

A 12-year-old girl presenting with a painful neck mass and ulcerated gingival lesions was found to have Wegener's granulomatosis involving the gingivae, paranasal sinuses, ears, mastoids, larynx, trachea, bronchial tree, lungs, kidneys and joints. The initial illness and two subsequent exacerbations were treated with intravenous and oral cyclophosphamide and prednisone. Secondary infections have been managed with establishment of good drainage and use of appropriate antibiotics. The patient is well with a normal sedimentation rate 4½ years after the onset of her disease.
