title: Uncommon presentations of thyroid carcinoma.
abstract: The most common presentation for carcinoma of the thyroid is as a cold nodule in the thyroid gland. Other appearances for thyroid carcinoma do exist, however; two such examples are presented. Incidence and presentation of thyroid carcinoma is discussed, as are guidelines for detecting patients that have a higher than average incidence of thyroid malignancy.
