Lenvatinib and other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are being used in locally advanced thyroid cancers like poorly differentiated and anaplastic, as well as in radiorefractory differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). However, their role in the neoadjuvant setting for DTCs is being increasingly explored, but there are only anecdotal reports in the literature that too only for percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC). Our case seems to be the first case where it was used in follicular thyroid cancer in the neoadjuvant setting.
