Metastatic disease to thyroid gland is a rare event. Although renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been reported to metastasize the thyroid gland, metastatic RCC to a thyroid neoplasm is very unusual. We report a case of a 68-year-old man with history of RCC who presented with a 2.5-cm thyroid nodule. Histologic examination demonstrates a renal cell carcinoma metastatic to a papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. The clinicopathologic features of metastatic disease into a thyroid gland neoplasm are shown, and a review of the literature is presented.
甲状腺转移瘤是一种罕见的情况。虽然已有报道肾细胞癌(RCC)可转移至甲状腺,但肾细胞癌转移至甲状腺肿瘤非常少见。我们报告一例68岁有肾细胞癌病史的男性,其出现一个2.5厘米的甲状腺结节。组织学检查显示为肾细胞癌转移至甲状腺乳头状癌。本文展示了转移至甲状腺肿瘤的临床病理特征,并对相关文献进行了综述。
