[Diffuse sclerosing papillary carcinoma mimicking chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis. A unusual neoplasm variant].
We report the clinical case of a 39 years old female diagnosed as a chronic lymphocytic tiroiditis by F.N.A.B. with multinodular goiter of long evolution. The patient was operated by total thyroidectomy and her final anatomopathologic result was papillary carcinoma diffuse sclerosing variant. During the surgical act several cervical nodes were detected and removed being informed the most of them as metastasic. A review of the literature at respect of this malignant neoplasm is performed.
