The patient obtained second opinion and presented again in early March, and surgery was scheduled 2 weeks later. By March 15, the COVID‐19 pandemic was in ascendance and elective surgery was suspended. The working rule in our Case Review Committee had been to delay surgery for well‐differentiated thyroid cancer. This case was prereviewed by committee members because of the unusual anatomic location of the lesions. The recommendation was to repeat the MRI to confirm stability on two similar studies. Repeat MRI confirmed no changes in the lesions between January and April. Based on this, we recommended not to hospitalize during the pandemic and planned surgery in 3 months.
