Four @entity1 with Thorotrast @entity738 are reported. The first @entity1 had a radical neck dissection performed; however, @entity86 and @entity292 occurred with a six-month delay in healing. The @entity738 in this @entity1 had totally occluded his carotid system with a greatly enlarged vertebral artery. A second @entity1 presented with spontaneous @entity548 in the neck from a @entity738 followed by @entity9872 , @entity1269 and @entity2026 . The third and fourth @entity1 presented as hoarseness with a hard mass in the neck. All four @entity1 had Thorotrast in the liver and spleen. The latter three had laryngoscopies and incisional neck biopsies as their only surgical treatment. Neck malignancy from Thorotrast is very rare. Despite legal decisions suggesting removal and similar suggestions in the literature, the authors feel only small extravasations have had uncomplicated operations. Neck dissection is rarely indicated. Hoarseness can be improved by vocal cord injection. These @entity1 , of course, must be followed periodically as any other @entity5 , checking the neck mass, liver, and carotid circulation.
