Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis to the thyroid gland is rare and can mimic primary thyroid carcinoma leading to diagnostic difficulties. We present a case of a 55-year-old female with RCC metastasis to the thyroid gland 15 years after nephrectomy. Diagnosis was made after total thyroidectomy. This case emphasizes the importance of considering metastasis in patients with increasing growth of the thyroid gland over a short period of time known with earlier RCC, even decades after nephrectomy.
肾细胞癌转移至甲状腺罕见,且可能酷似原发性甲状腺癌,导致诊断困难。我们报告一例55岁女性,在肾切除术后15年发生肾细胞癌转移至甲状腺。全甲状腺切除术后得以确诊。该病例强调,对于既往有肾细胞癌病史、即使在肾切除术后数十年,甲状腺在短时间内生长加快的患者,考虑转移的可能性很重要。
