  Objective: To report a case of large remnant ablation in a patient with metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma. Methods: We present the initial presentation, radiologic findings and subsequent surgical and medical management. The pertinent literature and management options are also reviewed.

Fine needle aspiration biopsy was consistent with papillary thyroid carcinoma. Pre-operative CT imaging noted a 6cm by 6cm mass, extending into the mediastinum with mediastinal lymphadenopathy and numerous bilateral pulmonary nodules.
