  • Title: [Thyroid metastases from a nephro-epithelioma].
    Author: Py JM, Meyer C, Bollack C.
    Journal: Ann Urol (Paris); 1985; 19(2):119-23. PubMed ID: 4015049.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a rare case of thyroid metastasis from a nephro-epithelioma, which appeared four years after nephrectomy, and was revealed by a Basedow-type goiter. It was treated by total thyroidectomy. A cervical recurrence was diagnosed in the course of a routine checkup and arteriography. Death occurred 22 years after thyroidectomy and 26 years after nephrectomy. The diagnosis is often only made at necropsy. The slow growth of these metastases does not preclude extended survival after surgical excision, and requires active therapy.
