Abstract
Cancer arising from ectopic thyroid is extremely rare, with papillary thyroid carcinoma being the most common type. We report a case of 17-year-old girl who presented with right neck swelling with right supraclavicular swelling. Preoperatively, she was diagnosed with benign right multinodular goiter and right supraclavicular ectopic thyroid based on her ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration results but postoperatively, her histopathology result showed primary papillary thyroid carcinoma. Most of the paediatric neck swelling may be benign, but possible diagnosis of malignancy should not be left behind.
