A case is described of thyroid carcinoma presenting as renal metastases 37 years after initial resection of the primary. Thyroid carcinoma metastatic to the kidney detected during life is rare, only 2 cases having been reported to date. An additional feature of this case is that the patient had donated the contralateral kidney for transplantation before discovery of the metastases. Metastatic thyroid carcinoma is reviewed and the implication of organ donation in patients with thyroid carcinoma is discussed.
本文描述了一例甲状腺癌患者，在原发肿瘤首次切除37年后出现肾转移。甲状腺癌转移至肾脏且在生前被发现的情况较为罕见，迄今为止仅报道过2例。该病例的另一个特点是，患者在转移灶发现之前已将对侧肾脏捐赠用于移植。本文对转移性甲状腺癌进行了综述，并讨论了甲状腺癌患者器官捐赠的意义。
