“…They usually occur in the context of long-standing multinodular goiters [81,82], mainly in the alpine region although they have been described elsewhere [83,84]. While some authors have considered them as an anaplastic or undifferentiated carcinoma with angiomatoid characteristics [85][86][87], there is now broad consensus that angiosarcomas arise from endothelial cells, characterized by positivity for the CD31 marker and erythroblast transformation-specific related gene (ERG) [77,85,[88][89][90]. Clinical and radiological features are nonspecific.…”

Lymph node metastases in non-well differentiated thyroid cancer (non-WDTC) are common, both in the central compartment (levels VI and VII) and in the lateral neck (Levels II to V). Nodal metastases negatively affect prognosis and should be treated to maximize locoregional control while minimizing morbidity. In non-WDTC, the rate of nodal involvement is variable and depends on the histology of the tumor. For medullary thyroid carcinomas, poorly differentiated thyroid carcinomas, and anaplastic thyroid carcinomas, the high frequency of lymph node metastases makes central compartment dissection generally necessary. In mucoepidermoid carcinomas, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, sarcomas, and malignant thyroid teratomas or thyroblastomas, central compartment dissection is less often necessary, as clinical lymphnode involvement is less common. We aim to summarize the medical literature and the opinions of several experts from different parts of the world on the current philosophy for managing the neck in less common types of thyroid cancer.
