Three months after his laryngectomy, he presented with a sore neck and subcutaneous collections. Computed tomography revealed a unilateral mass with high signal contrast uptake anterior to the left common carotid artery, which was thought initially to be a carotid pseudoaneurysm. Further investigation, including ultrasonography and a review by the senior head and neck radiologist, demonstrated that this mass was actually the remnant hemi-thyroid preserved at laryngectomy (which is often misshapen compared with a normal hemi-thyroid). The collections were found to be recurrent tumour, and unnecessary further interventions were avoided.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215112000370_sec4\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Ultrasonography easily distinguishes between a thyroid remnant and a pseudoaneurysm.
