The tumor-to-tumor metastasis is a rare event. The lung tumors are the most common donor tumors in tumor-to-tumor metastasis, but are exceedingly rare as a recipient. Here, we report a case of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) metastasizing to adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS, formerly bronchioloalveolar carcinoma) of the lung in a 44-year-old woman who underwent total thyroidectomy for PTC 8 years ago. To the best of our knowledge, the present case is the first case reporting on PTC metastasized to AIS. A review of the relevant literature is presented.

“…The reason for tumor-to-tumor metastasis favoring specific tumors is still unknown. The RCC's rich vascularity, high content of glycogen and lipid, tendency to be localized without infiltration or metastasis could explain its favorable environment for receiving metastases from other cancers [6,7,9].…”

International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations. Metastasis of one tumor to another tumor is a very rare and controversial phenomenon. Solitary renal cell carcinoma metastasis to a preexisting pancreatic endocrine tumor is distinctly uncommon. We report atypical imaging findings of pancreatic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma, due to tumor-to-tumor metastasis for presence of renal cell carcinoma metastasizing to a pancreatic endocrine tumor. Case Report: A 78-year-old male suffering from mild anemia underwent to multidetector computed tomography scan showing renal cell carcinoma and solid-cystic pancreatic mass, both resectable, treated with right radical nephrectomy and spleno-distal pancreatectomy.Histopathology of the resected renal and pancreatic specimens confirmed a clear cells right renal cell carcinoma metastatic to endocrine neoplasm of pancreatic body-tail. We compared multidetector computed tomography scan findings and histopathological pancreatic specimen. The imaging finding of peripheral rim enhancement coincided in pancreatic pathologic specimen with presence of pancreatic endocrine tumor. The imaging finding of solid trabeculae inside the mass corresponded in pancreatic pathologic specimen to presence of pancreatic endocrine tumor mixed with lobules of typical renal carcinoma metastatic cells. Finally, the imaging finding of hypoenhancing central area of lesion coincided in pancreatic pathologic specimen with presence of large necrotic component. Conclusion:We describe an unusual multidetector computed tomography scan finding of renal cell carcinoma metastasizing to pancreatic endocrine tumor and emphasize the knowledge of rare phenomena of tumor-to-tumor metastasis.

Tumor-to-tumor metastasis is a rare phenomenon, with around 150 cases being reported in the literature. Breast cancer is the second most commonly reported donor tumor after lung cancer, but thymic epithelial tumors have never been reported as recipient tumors. Furthermore, the thymus is rarely affected by metastases. To our knowledge, the present report is the first case of breast cancer metastatic to thymic epithelial tumor.
