Abstract

Metastasis to the thyroid is extremely rare. In recent years, there is an increase in metastasis to the thyroid. This may be related with common use of the fine-needle aspiration biopsy. Synchronized occurrence of the oncocytic variant of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid and metastasis into thyroid, especially of esophageal origin, is very rarely seen. We present a rare case of a 56-year-old female in whom a primary esophageal squamous cell carcinoma gave rise to a metastatic palpable mass in the left lobe of thyroid gland and oncocytic variant of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid in the right lobe of thyroid gland. J Clin Exp Invest 2015; 6 (4): 396-399

Key words: Metastasis, papillary carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, thyroid

Tiroidde senkronize tiroid papiller karsinom onkositik varyant ile özofagus skuamöz hücreli karsinom metastazı birlikteliği: olgu sunumu

Abstract

Tiroide metastaz oldukça nadirdir. Son yıllarda tiroide metastazda artış görülmektedir. Bu da ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisinin daha sık kullanılıyor olmasıyla ilişkili olabilir. Senkronize tiroid papiller karsinom onkositik varyantı ile özellikle özogafus kaynaklı tiroide metastaz birlikteliği oldukça nadir görülür. Bu yazıda 56 yaşında bayan hastada, tiroid sol lobda metastatik palpabl kitle gelişimine sebep olan primer özofageal skuamöz hücreli karsinom ile sağ lobda tiroid papiller karsinom onkositik varyantı birlikteliğini sunmaktayız
