Abstract

Theoretically, metastatic renal cell cancer (RCC) is able to metastasize well to organs with a rich blood supply, but thyroid with a good vascularity is known to be a site with rare metastasis of RCC. Distant metastasis of RCC may also occur several years after its first diagnosis. Therefore, there is a high possibility of overlooking metastatic RCC to thyroid. To avoid this, we have to take the patient's past history in detail, and to keep in mind that the distant metastasis of RCC could be occurred in the thyroid years later.
