Abstract
Papillary thyroid carcinoma is a differentiated thyroid cancer that arises from thyroid follicular epithelial cells. Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disease of unknown cause, characterized by monocytic infiltration and granuloma formation. We herein report a case of thyroid carcinoma complicated by sarcoidosis. When thyroid nodules and lymph node lesions are suspected, it is essential to avoid fixed thinking, conduct a comprehensive preoperative evaluation, and select the appropriate surgical approach. This can help reduce the likelihood of postoperative complications and improve the patient's quality of life. Therefore, comprehensive diagnosis of the coexistence of papillary thyroid carcinoma and sarcoidosis is crucial.
