case_images: Significantly enlarged thyroid mass causing tracheal deviation to the right (blue arrow) with hypoattenuation within the left thyroid lobe (red arrow) (a). Scattered calcifications (green arrows) apparent within the lesion (b) with extension into the anterior mediastinum and continued deviation of the trachea (c).

case_images: Intraoperative biopsies sent for frozen section analysis were reported as poorly differentiated carcinoma, suggestive of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (Figure 2).
case_images: Metastatic work-up demonstrates a pulmonary nodule within the right upper lobe (1.1 x 2.1 cm) with central cavitation (blue arrow) (a) and increased 99 mTc HDP uptake within the right intratrochanteric femur positive for a destructive lytic lesion (red arrow) (b).
