During the last 10 years the authors operated upon 8 patients with illnesses beginning with different lung alterations. In all cases the basic illness was a papillary or papillo-follicular cancer of the thyroid gland which later was found indirectly after other operation and histologic examination. By evaluation of clinical symptoms, operative and morphologic findings conclusions as well as the results of reexamination the authors draw conclusions as to the biological attributes of this tumor type. They recognize that the carcinomas of the thyroid gland cause metastases of regional lymph nodes or distant lung metastases approaching the TO stage. Lung metastases appeared in different shapes and were in all cases the fist clinical sign of the basic illness. Considering the biological attributes of this tumor the authors emphasize that it is not inoperable or untreatable.
在过去10年中，作者对8例以不同肺部病变为起始症状的患者进行了手术。所有病例的基础疾病均为甲状腺乳头状或乳头状滤泡状癌，这些病例后来在其他手术及组织学检查后才被间接发现。通过对临床症状、手术及形态学检查结果以及复查结果进行评估，作者得出了关于该肿瘤类型生物学特性的结论。他们认识到甲状腺癌会导致区域淋巴结转移或远处肺转移，接近TO期。肺转移呈现出不同形态，且在所有病例中都是基础疾病的首个临床症状。考虑到该肿瘤的生物学特性，作者强调其并非无法手术或无法治疗。
