Scope note: Tumor maligno agresivo de la GLÁNDULA TIROIDES que generalmente aparece en áreas con déficit de YODO y en personas con patología tiroidea previa, como el BOCIO. Está asociado con DIFERENCIACIÓN CELULAR del CARCINOMA DE TIROIDES (por ej. CARCINOMA TIROIDEO FOLICULAR o CÁNCER DE TIROIDES PAPILAR). La aparición inicial típica exhibe un cuadro con rápido crecimiento de una masa en el cuello cuyas metástasis se asocian con DISFAGIA, DOLOR DE CUELLO, dolores óseos, DISNEA y DÉFICITS NEUROLÓGICOS.

Scope note: An aggressive THYROID GLAND malignancy which generally occurs in IODINE-deficient areas in people with previous thyroid pathology such as GOITER. It is associated with CELL DEDIFFERENTIATION of THYROID CARCINOMA (e.g., FOLLICULAR THYROID CARCINOMA; PAPILLARY THYROID CANCER). Typical initial presentation is a rapidly growing neck mass which upon metastasis is associated with DYSPHAGIA; NECK PAIN; bone pain; DYSPNEA; and NEUROLOGIC DEFICITS.
