Metastases to the thyroid gland represent a rare event. Malignancies that most frequently metastasize to the thyroid vary between clinical and autopsy studies and by geographic area. In Western countries, renal carcinoma has been recorded as a frequent source of thyroid metastases. We report the case of a 66-year-old man with a thyroid metastasis from clear cell renal carcinoma and discuss its clinical, pathological and imaging features.

Introduction: Clear cell renal carcinoma metastases to the thyroid gland are rare and only diagnosable after an immunohistochemistry analysis of the histological sample. The purpose of this article is to report a case of thyroid metastasis as the initial presentation of a clear cell renal carcinoma.Case Report: Male patient with a solid nodule in the left lobe of the thyroid, 5.3 cm in diameter, suspicious of malignancy, for which a total thyroidectomy with central compartment lymphadenectomy was performed. Histology revealed two clear cell renal carcinoma metastases. After evaluation of the kidney, the patient underwent radical nephrectomy four months later.Discussion: What makes this case interesting is that thyroid metastases as the initial presentation of renal cell carcinoma are rare, but if treated early, a ‘double surgical resection’ is possible, leading to a 5 year survival rate of 80%.
