Popis:	While thyroid cancers are usually present one type of cancer in the thyroid gland, rarely different thyroid cancers may found in one or two different lobes of the thyroid gland at the same time. A 70-years-old female patient presented with a long-standing neck swelling, especially on the left side, which was more prominent, recently increasing in size and causing shortness of breath. Due to tracheal compression and diagnosis of multi-nodular goiter, total thyroidectomy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed a thyroid collision tumor with papillary microcarcinoma on the right and hurtle cell adenoma on the left side. Due to its rarity, clinicians encountered difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid collision tumors. We believe that to be aware of these rare entities by encouraging clinicians to report such cases enable to more solid conclusions to diagnosis and management of collision tumors.
