[An enlarged neck lymph node].
We present an eleven years old girl with an enlarged cervical lymph node. This turned out to be metastasis of a papillary thyroid carcinoma. The treatment consisted of surgical intervention and radioactive iodine orally. Even in childhood thyroid carcinoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of a persisting swelling in the neck.
