Abstract
We report a rare case of thyroid metastasis from renal cell carcinoma, together with a review of the literature.<BR>A 55-year-old man was referred to our hospital for treatment of a thyroid tumor with hematosputum and dyspnea. He had undergone right nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma 9 years earlier. Chest CT scan revealed multiple lung metastases, a thyroid tumor and an intra-tracheal tumor. On the next day, he coughed up a lump of the tumor and blood, and he was admitted to our hospital for examination and treatment.<BR>Pathological examinations of the lump demonstrated metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the thyroid and the trachea.<BR>He was transferred to the department of urology in our hospital, and had been administered interferon-α at a dose of 5 million units three times a week till now, February in 2009.
