Abstract
Anaplastic carcinoma of thyroid gland is one of the four most malignant tumors in humans. It appears in one or two patients
per million per year. It is very rare in children. A 17-year-old female patient was admitted to the Clinical Department of ENT
and Head and Neck Surgery, Split University Hospital Center, for thyroid gland surgery due to rapid growth of a node in the
thyroid gland left lobe. Preoperative examination indicated benign nature of changes. Total thyroidectomy with levels VI
and VII neck dissection was done. Intraoperative slide of the left lobe was malignant. Positron emission tomography and
computed tomography were also done. The finding was negative. The patient was examined by an ENT-oncology team and
juvenile radiotherapy was administered. It was found to be carcinoma stage IVa according to TNM classification. One year
after the operation, the patient was well and had no signs of illness. This case report is a contribution to the existing but
scarce knowledge of anaplastic carcinoma of thyroid gland in young patients in the world.
