Thyroid metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is very rare. We present a case of a 41-year-old man with a markedly elevated serum α-fetoprotein (2,297 ng/mL) and a left neck mass 6 months after a hepatolobectomy for a primary HCC. F-FDG PET/CT imaging showed a focal uptake in the left thyroid lobe corresponding to a mass. The patient underwent a left hemithyroidectomy. Subsequent pathology confirmed HCC metastasis to the thyroid.
甲状腺转移癌来自肝细胞癌(HCC)的情况非常罕见。我们报告了 1 例 41 岁男性,因原发性 HCC 接受肝叶切除术 6 个月后,出现明显的血清甲胎蛋白升高(2297ng/ml)和左侧颈部肿块。F-FDG PET/CT 成像显示左甲状腺叶有局灶性摄取,对应一个肿块。患者接受了左侧甲状腺叶切除术。随后的病理检查证实 HCC 转移至甲状腺。
