Abstract

An 81-year-old woman presented with a mass in the right lobe of the thyroid. Fine needle aspiration of this lesion showed metastatic clear cell carcinoma. This was subsequently confirmed histologically. In patients with metastatic carcinoma, tumour deposits are frequently found in the thyroid. The most common metastatic tumour to masquerade as a primary thyroid tumour is a renal cell carcinoma. In patients with this tumour the possibility that a thyroid mass may be a metastatic deposit should always be considered.

摘要

一名81岁女性因甲状腺右叶肿物就诊。对该病变进行细针穿刺活检显示为转移性透明细胞癌，随后经组织学检查得以证实。在转移性癌患者中，甲状腺内常可发现肿瘤沉积物。最常伪装成原发性甲状腺肿瘤的转移性肿瘤是肾细胞癌。对于患有这种肿瘤的患者，应始终考虑甲状腺肿物可能是转移性沉积物的可能性。
