Abstract

Submandibular cervical swellings can manifest with a wide range of differentials which could be congenital infective reactive neoplastic or metastatic in origin Here we discuss a case of a 42 year old male patient who initially presented with a painless mass in the right submandibular region with no other associated symptoms which on further examination turned out to be metastatic lymphadenopathy A thorough investigation of the neck was subsequently performed which lead us to the diagnosis of follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma with submandibular lymphnode metastasis
