Papillary thyroid carcinoma presenting as a primary renal tumor with multiple pulmonary and bone metastases: a case report

ConclusionOur patient was surprisingly still alive after metastatic disease was diagnosed 10  years ago and she had no major complaint other than a draining mass on her neck. Our primary aim by sharing this case is to underline potential renal metastasis from papillary thyroid carcinoma. In other words, when approaching primary renal tumors, possible distant metastases of other organs nee d to be kept in mind for differential diagnosis. In addition, it should be noted that if managed appropriately, the long-term survival in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma with multiple organ metastases could be encouraging.
