The association of an asymptomatic mass, normal thyroid function, and a cold nodule can occur months to years after a primary cancer. Work-up should include ruling out other metastases and fine-needle aspiration cytology. We report six cases of secondary thyroid cancer. Two of the patients in our series presented with hyperthyroidism, which may be due to invasion and disruption of thyroid follicles.
无症状肿块、甲状腺功能正常及冷结节的组合可能在原发性癌症发生数月至数年之后出现。检查应包括排除其他转移灶以及细针穿刺细胞学检查。我们报告了6例继发性甲状腺癌病例。我们系列中的两名患者表现为甲状腺功能亢进，这可能是由于甲状腺滤泡受侵犯和破坏所致。
