BREAST CARCINOMA METASTATIZING TO THE THYROID: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Metastatic cancer to the thyroid is uncommon. In this report we present a case of breast cancer metastatizing to the thyroid. A 60-years old female patient was admitted to the hospital presenting with a mass on the neck. Physical examination revealed a diffusely enlarged thyroid gland and cervical lymphadenopathy. Total thyroidectomy and cervical lymphadenectomy were performed. The histopathologic diagnosis was metastasis of invasive ductal carcinoma to the thyroid gland and lymph nodes. On history, mastectomy and axillary disection performed 15 years ago due to invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast with lymph node metastasis were present. A thyroid mass in a patient with a history of previous malignancy treated years ago should be evaluated with a differential diagnosis of metastasis.
