Prior radiation exposure is the best known risk factor for thyroid cancers, and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) may arise from dyshormonogenetic goiter. A 17-year-old female patient was admitted to the department of chest diseases with respiratory symptoms. The patient had undergone a thyroid surgery for goiter at the age of 9. A bilateral nodular opacity was detected by radiological examination. The histopathologic examination of the specimen obtained from computed tomography guided trucut biopsy was diagnosed as PTC. We present a very rare case of PTC with lung metastasis that had undergone subtotal thyroidectomy due to dyshormonogenetic goiter eight years ago.
既往接受过辐射是甲状腺癌最知名的风险因素，甲状腺乳头状癌（PTC）可能起源于激素合成障碍性甲状腺肿。一名17岁女性患者因呼吸道症状入住胸科。该患者9岁时因甲状腺肿接受过甲状腺手术。影像学检查发现双侧结节状混浊。经计算机断层扫描引导下粗针穿刺活检获取的标本进行组织病理学检查，诊断为PTC。我们报告一例非常罕见的PTC伴肺转移病例，该患者八年前因激素合成障碍性甲状腺肿接受了甲状腺次全切除术。
