[Intra-thyroid metastases (author's transl)].

E La Meir, P Dor

    Acta Chirurgica Belgica

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Intra-thyroid metastases, often from renal neoplasms, can mimic primary thyroid tumors. Surgical intervention, preferably unilateral lobectomy, is crucial for diagnosis and symptom management, potentially followed by adjuvant therapies.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Endocrinology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Metastases to the thyroid gland are infrequently recognized as primary presentations of other malignancies.
    • Intra-thyroidal metastatic lesions can mimic primary thyroid neoplasms, complicating diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • This report details four cases of intra-thyroidal metastases presenting as apparent primary thyroid tumors.
    • These metastatic lesions were frequently associated with renal neoplasms, often being the initial clinical manifestation.

    Findings:

    • Intra-thyroidal metastases are likely more common than currently appreciated.
    • Accurate diagnosis often necessitates thyroid gland ablation.
    • Unilateral thyroid lobectomy is preferred over total thyroidectomy due to lower mortality.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition of intra-thyroidal metastases is vital, particularly in patients with known or suspected renal tumors.
    • Surgical management, tailored to the individual case, can effectively address diagnostic challenges and local compression symptoms.
    • Postoperative adjuvant therapies, including radio- and chemotherapy, may be indicated based on the specific metastatic characteristics.
