                            <p>Tiroid bezi primer yassı epitel hücreli karsinomu tüm tiroid kanserlerinin yaklaşık %1’ini oluşturan nadir bir hastalıktır. Hastalar genellikle büyüyen bir boyun kitlesi ile başvururlar. Bu makalede, ilk bulgusu boyunda apse olan ve tiroid bezinin primer skuamöz hücreli karsinomu tanısı alan 76 yaşında bir kadın hastayı sunduk. Hasta kliniğimize yutma güçlüğü, nefes almada zorluk, boyun sağ kısmında son 1 haftadır iyice büyüyen hiperemik kitle şikayetleri ile başvurdu. Fizik muayenede sağ boyun bölgesinde fluktuasyon gösteren, hiperemik kitle izlendi. Boyun ve üst toraks manyetik rezonans görüntülemesinde tiroid bezi sağ kısmında, kistik ve nekrotik alanlar içeren ve retrosternal uzanım gösteren, sağ juguler ven ve ana karotid arteri saran kitle izlendi. İnsizyonel biyopsi yapıldı. Histopatolojik tanı skuamöz hücreli karsinom olarak rapor edildi. Komşu dokulardaki ileri invazyon ve infiltrasyon nedeniyle onkoloji konseyi tarafından inoperabl kabul edildi. Tiroid bezi primer skuamöz hücreli karsinomu, kötü prognozlu, agresif seyirli ve nadir bir kanserdir. Derin boyun apsesi şikâyeti ile başvuran hastalarda, tanı ve tedavideki gecikmelerden kaçınmak için altta yatan bir tiroid skuamöz hücreli karsinomu bulunabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.</p></trans-abstract>

Patients usually present with enlarging neck mass. In this paper we presented a 76-year-old female patient with PSCCT whose initial finding was a cervical abscess. To our knowledge this is the first PSCCT case in the literature presenting as cervical abscess. The patient was referred to our clinic with dysphasia, shortness in breathing and hyperemic right neck mass, growing in size for 1 week. On physical examination a fluctuant and hyperemic mass was observed at the right cervical region. Magnetic resonance imaging of neck and upper thorax revealed a mass in the area of right thyroid gland, including cystic and necrotic component, progressing to the retrosternal area, surrounding right jugular vein and common carotid artery. An open biopsy was performed. The histopathological diagnosis was squamous cell carcinoma. Because of the extended invasion and infiltration of adjacent tissues, the patient was accepted as inoperable in oncologic council. PSCCT is a rare and aggressive neoplasm of the thyroid gland with poor prognosis. In a patient with deep neck spaces abscess, an underlying PSCCT should be kept in mind to avoid delays in the diagnosis and treatment.</p></abstract>
