Metástasis aislada en glándula tiroides secundaria a carcinoma de células renales: reporte de caso

Introducción Metastatic disease of the thyroid corresponds to 2% of thyroid malignancies in autopsy series. Up to 50% of metastases are due to renal cell carcinoma (RCC). These can occur several years after diagnosis or nephrectomy. An isolated presence in the thyroid gland is rare. Clinical case presentation The literature shows that the median time for thyroid metastasis in patients with RCC is 92 months. Most patients are asymptomatic, and a full thyroidectomy is recommended to prevent disease progression with a favorable impact on Survival. In patients with thyroid nodules and a history of RCC, metastasis should be suspected. Keywords: renal cell carcinoma, neoplasm metastasis, thyroid nodule, case report.
