متن کاملCT and MRI findings of carcinoma showing thymus-like differentiation.
Carcinoma showing thymus-like differentiation (CASTLE) is a rare tumor that occurs in the soft tissue of the neck or in the thyroid gland. We report a case of CASTLE in a 54-year-old man presenting with hoarseness. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass enclosing the right carotid artery with the shape of lobulation and invasion to the trachea. The mass was ...

CASTLE is regarded as an indolent neoplasm with a favorable prognosis, irrespective of its metastatic potential. Diagnosis is difficult as clinicopathological features have not been yet well-defined. Radiological f...
