Thyroid gland metastases from nonthyroidal malignancies are extremely rare. The most common primary malignancies associated with metastasis to thyroid gland include renal cell carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, lung cancer, and breast cancer. Metastasis to thyroid rarely arises from primary laryngeal cancer. The presence of metastasis to thyroid gland is invariable and associated with poor prognosis and thus, should be differentiated from primary thyroid malignancy. Hereby, we have one such case of metastasis to thyroid gland from laryngeal cancer diagnosed on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan.
非甲状腺恶性肿瘤转移至甲状腺极为罕见。与甲状腺转移相关的最常见原发性恶性肿瘤包括肾细胞癌、结直肠癌、肺癌和乳腺癌。甲状腺转移很少源于原发性喉癌。甲状腺转移的存在是确定无疑的,且与预后不良相关,因此,应与原发性甲状腺恶性肿瘤相鉴别。在此,我们报告一例通过18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描诊断为喉癌转移至甲状腺的病例。
