THYROID CARCINOSARCOMA: A CASE REPORT

Thyroid carcinosarcoma is a rare and aggressive neoplasm of the thyroid gland, with a recurrent character and a bad prognosis, despite the introduction of a multimodal treatment that is not yet codied. We present a case of thyroid carcinosarcoma, number 32 described in the literature, in a 64-year-old man complicating a multinodular goiter that had been evolving for 10 years and which relapsed 6 months after total thyroidectomy. On the anatomopathological level, thyroid sarcoma was mentioned before the microscopic aspect of the tumor and conrmed by the immune histochemical study. The recurrence was massive requiring the use of tumor reduction surgery that allowed the avoidance of a tracheotomy and a good locoregional control of the tumor. And yet the patient died of lung metastases 4 months later.
