Literature reports intra-thyroid involvement of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) as a very rare and late event after kidney cancer diagnosis. Nevertheless, it must be investigated and differentiated from primary thyroid nodules. This is important in order to give the patient the best and earliest treatment. In fact the presence of thyroid metastasis of RCC is often the expression of a systemic disease and therefore the patient should have a complete total body examination in order to rule out any other organ involvement. In the case of a solitary metastasis, the therapeutic approach is thyroidectomy giving the patient a survival benefit. Here, a case report of a solitary RCC thyroid metastatic nodule associated with an omolateral internal jugular neoplastic thrombosis is presented together with a review of the literature on this matter.
文献报道甲状腺内肾细胞癌(RCC)累及是肾癌诊断后非常罕见的晚期事件。然而,必须对其进行检查并与原发性甲状腺结节相鉴别。这对于给予患者最佳和最早的治疗非常重要。事实上,RCC甲状腺转移的存在通常是全身性疾病的表现,因此患者应进行全面的全身检查以排除任何其他器官受累。对于孤立性转移,治疗方法是甲状腺切除术,这能给患者带来生存益处。在此,本文报告了一例伴有同侧颈内静脉肿瘤性血栓形成的孤立性RCC甲状腺转移结节病例,并对该问题的文献进行了综述。
