description Highly differentiated thyroid cancer is a common endocrine neoplasm with a favorable prognosis. However, errors in the treatment of this pathology can significantly worsen the patient’s quality of life.Patient V., 65 years old, underwent an operation for papillary thyroid cancer with an injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve in 2015. Only 6 months later, RAI therapy was performed with an insufficient dose of RI, and levothyroxine was prescribed at a thyrotoxic dose, which led to the development of AF. Throughout the entire period after surgical treatment, biochemical remission could not be achieved, and in 2019, a control ultrasound scan revealed lymphadenopathy of the anterior cervical lymph nodes and metastases in the lungs.
