Abstract

We report a case of metastatic renal tumor from the follicular carcinoma of the thyroid. Renal mass was found 7 years after resection of the follicular adenoma of the thyroid. We performed radical nephrectomy and the tumor was proved to be the follicular carcinoma of the thyroid. To search for another distant metastatic foci of thyroid carcinoma, whole body iodine scintigram should be done after the ablation of all thyroid tissue to maximize thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) stimulation.
