Abstract

Paragangliomas of the thyroid gland are rare lesions, only four previous cases having been reported in the literature, to our knowledge. We report herein a fifth case, which, to our knowledge, is the first to exhibit malignant behavior manifested by invasion into perithyroidal soft tissue through the wall of the trachea into the tracheal mucosa.
