In a case of 46-year-old woman, small nodules appeared in the anterior neck which was diagnosed as follicular adenoma of the left lower lobe of the thyroid. Four months before, she experienced resection of the lung and three courses chemotherapy of MVP for stage IIIb well-differentiated lung adenocarcinoma. Pathologically, micro-metastatic lung adenocarcinoma was found in the adenoma. It is very rare occurrence for lung carcinoma to metastasize into adenoma of the thyroid. But when tumors of the anterior neck are found in a patient of lung carcinoma, thyroid tumor must be considered for differential diagnosis.
一名46岁女性患者，其前颈部出现小结节，被诊断为甲状腺左下叶滤泡性腺瘤。四个月前，她因IIIb期高分化肺腺癌接受了肺切除术及三疗程MVP化疗。病理检查发现，腺瘤中存在微转移的肺腺癌。肺癌转移至甲状腺腺瘤的情况极为罕见。但是，当肺癌患者前颈部出现肿瘤时，必须考虑甲状腺肿瘤以进行鉴别诊断。
