Figure 1
Preoperative computed tomography (CT) of the anaplastic thyroid carcinoma. (a) Axial view with contrast revealing a heterogeneous mass that is intimately associated with the trachea and pushes it toward the left side of the neck but free of the common carotid artery and the esophagus. (b) Coronal view with contrast demonstrating the craniocaudal extent and intimate tracheal involvement of the tumor.
