title: A Rare Case of a Postoperative Submandibular Exophytic Goiter in a Patient With a Recurrent Normotopic Nodular Goiter.
abstract: A 50-year-old woman presented a painless left submandibular mass. She had history of partial thyroidectomy for nodular goiter. A radioiodine whole-body scan showed tracer accumulation in the mass, which connected with the thyroid remnant. The left submandibular mass was resected, and the pathological examination demonstrated exophytic and normotopic nodular goiter.
