A rare but very serious disease: Tumors metastasizing to the thyroid in the light of cases

CONCLUSION: Thyroidal metastases are rare; however, they must be suspected in patients with a previous history of non-thyroid malignancy and a thyroid nodule. The prognosis is quite poor and the overall survival of the patient depends on the type and location of the primary tumor. The most common primary tumors metastasizing to the thyroid are kidney, lung, and head and neck malignancies, and surgery/chemotherapy may be beneficial.PMID:36327570 | DOI:10.1016/j.tice.2022.101958
