WITHDRAWN AP1788 SUCCESSFUL PALLIATIVE CRYOABLATION AND RECANALIZATION OF INVASIVE FOLLICULAR THYROID CARCINOMA ENCROACHING INTO THE TRACHEA PORTIA MARIA CADET TANYAG, JOVEN ROQUE VERSOZA GONONG Philippines, Lung Center of the Philippines, Philippines Background: Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma is a rare malignant tumour with an incidence of 5% of all thyroid carcinoma. Demographic profile for follicular thyroid carcinoma is male gender and age over 45 years. While most thyroid carcinoma has good prognosis, tracheal invasion is an indicator of poor survival. Lesser invasive palliative procedures such as use of cryotherapy for recanalization and ablation shortens hospital stay, reduces postsurgical complications, and improves quality of life. Case Report: A 24 year old female was referred to the Lung Center of the Philippines due to a tracheal mass noted on CT scan of the chest and neck which presented as hoarseness of voice and episodes of massive haemoptysis that started 8 months prior. Patient had poor recollection of a thyroid surgery she had in a surgical mission for her enlarging neck mass 2 years preceding the referral. A repeat CT scan of the neck and chest showed a lobulated enhancing mass at the right thyroidectomy bed encroaching into the trachea with 70% luminal narrowing.
