title: [Bilateral thyroid carcinoma: a case report].
abstract: We describe a case of bilateral thyroid carcinoma in a 48-year-old woman. She was admitted to our hospital as a case of cervical nodular goiter. Multifocality of the thyroid nodules were evaluated by preoperative ultrasonography. The patient received bilateral thyroid lobe total resection and bilateral IV lymph node dissection. Medullary thyroid cancer was confirmed by intraoperative frozen pathology in the right lobe of thyroid gland and papillary thyroid microcarcinoma in the left lobe of thyroid gland. No tumor recurrence and metastasis were found after 3-months follow-up.
