The case report of a 48 years patient is presented. He went to the Thyroid Pathology Service of Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima Provincial Hospital from Cienfuegos, due to an increase of volume in the anterior region of the neck, weakness, occasionally deglutition disorders and light dyspnea. A tumor was verified in the anteroinferior and lateral right region of the neck, movable, that was prolonged downward to the superior part of the thorax when the physical exam was carried out. A right hemithyroidectomy was carried out with exeresis of the endothoracic extension. The patient had a favorable clinical course.
