A 42-year-old man presented with a 6-cm mass in the left lobe of his thyroid. There was no palpable adenopathy. The patient had no dysphagia, hoarseness or other symptoms. Laryngoscopy showed normal vocal cord function. Thyroid function tests were normal. Thyrocalcitonin was normal and the patient was normotensive.

The profile view shows the projection of the mass. Ultrasound found the mass to be 5.8 cm, almost totally occupying the left lobe. Fine needle aspiration was indeterminate for thyroid malignancy.
