The papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland is the most common type of tumor of the thyroid gland with good prognosis and low incidence of distant metastasis. The brain metastases of thyroid gland carcinoma are extremely rare. We report a patient with multiple cystic brain lesions and satisfying criteria for diagnosis of neurocysticercosis. Brain biopsy revealed brain metastases from papillary thyroid carcinoma. The tumor originated from mediastinal thyroid tissue. Even in cases when neuroimaging suggests neurocysticercosis with great accuracy, it is important to exclude metastasis. Extensive brain metastases of primary papillary thyroid carcinoma are extremely rare.
甲状腺乳头状癌是甲状腺最常见的肿瘤类型，预后良好，远处转移发生率低。甲状腺癌脑转移极为罕见。我们报告一例患有多发性脑囊性病变且符合神经囊尾蚴病诊断标准的患者。脑活检显示为甲状腺乳头状癌脑转移。肿瘤起源于纵隔甲状腺组织。即使在神经影像学高度准确提示神经囊尾蚴病的情况下，排除转移也很重要。原发性甲状腺乳头状癌广泛脑转移极为罕见。
