Abstract

We report a case of metastatic renal cell carcinoma to thyroid. A 56-year-old woman was presented with multiple nodules in the thyroid with the history of left radical nephrectomy 4 years ago due to renal cell carcinoma(stage I). During postnephreectomy follow-up period, no recurrence nor metastasis to other organs were noted. She had euthyroid function and multiple cold nodules in bilateral lobes on thyroid scan. Total thyroidectomy was done, and multiple nodules in the thyroid were bilaterally. The pathology reports showed the findings of metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the thyroid. The postoperative course was uneventual.
