“…In comparison, stromal fibrosis, frequently seen in papillary carcinomas [9], and necrosis may cause low intranodular vascularity [11]. Indeed, follicular malignancies as well as thyroid B-cell lymphoma are associated with a distinct central flow on colour Doppler ultrasound [30], and hypervascularity is also found in thyroid metastasis from renal cell carcinoma [31].…”

“…Although thyroid has a very good vascular supply, the occurrence of metastases in this organ is quite rare. It probably is a result of difficulties that neoplastic cells have to settle due to a fast blood flow, another reason could be a specific gland tissue environment rich in oxygen and iodine (1).…”

A b s t r a c tThyroid gland is a rare site for distant metastases. The aim of this study is to present a rare case of an isolated metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer (ccRCC) in the thyroid gland seven years after left-sided nephrectomy.A neck cancer discovered by clinical examination, diagnosed by ultrasound-guided USG fine-needle biopsy was removed by surgery. Palliative thyroidectomy with consecutive neck radiotherapy was finished without any complications, except a temporary, asymptomatic hypocalcaemia. After six month remission, the patient's general condition deteriorated, multiorgan RCC dissection appeared leading to the patient's death.

“…Metastasis occurs via the hematogenous route and should be suspected in a patient with a new thyroid nodule and known malignancy elsewhere in the body. The most common malignancies to metastasize to the thyroid are breast, lung, and renal cell carcinoma (RCC), with RCC being the most common 54,55 (Figs. 7C, D).…”

The thyroid gland is one of the largest endocrine glands in the human body. It functions as a regulator of metabolism. Diseases involving the thyroid range from benign to malignant and can be associated with major morbidity and mortality. Ultrasound (US) imaging of the thyroid gland is prompted because of a palpable mass on clinical examination; abnormality of thyroid function tests; incidental finding on other imaging modalities, that is, nuclear scintigraphy or computed tomography scan; screening for patients with risk factors for malignancy, such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type II; or prior neck radiation treatment.Ultrasound is an excellent, noninvasive, and cost-effective diagnostic tool in the detection and characterization of thyroid disease. Most thyroid diseases have pathognomonic features on US, which are of diagnostic importance and lead to appropriate clinical management. Ultrasound plays an important role in differentiating benign from malignant thyroid disease, thereby triaging patients for US-guided fine-needle aspiration. Ultimately, thyroid US, in conjunction with thyroid function tests, can aid in characterizing various thyroid diseases.The main objective of this pictorial essay is to illustrate the sonographic appearance of various benign and malignant diseases of the thyroid with their histopathology correlations. Management of thyroid nodules using US-guided fine-needle aspiration is also briefly discussed.
