Abstract

Thyroid metastasis is rare. The most common primary malignancy of thyroid metastasis worldwide is known to be renal cell carcinoma, but the most common primary malignancy in South Korea is breast cancer. Many studies have reported that primary renal cell carcinoma is almost unilateral and thyroid metastasis from renal cell carcinoma is a nearly ipsilateral, single lesion. We report a case of pyramidal lobe metastasis from renal cell carcinoma.

악성 종양의 갑상샘 전이는 드물다. 가장 흔한 원발 병소는 신세포암으로 알려져 있지만, 한국에서는 유방암이 가장 흔하게 보고되고 있다. 지금까지 발표된 신세포암의 갑상샘 전이에 관한 연구에서 원발암인 신세포암은 대부분에서 편측성으로 발생하고 갑상샘 전이 또한 단일 병소로 우측 또는 좌측 엽에 병발하여 편측 일치성을 보인다. 저자들은 신세포암의 갑상샘 피라미드엽 전이 1예의 영상소견을 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.
