Abstract

Although metastasis from renal cell carcinoma to the thyroid is relatively uncommon, it is a potentially lethal complication that can develop more than 10 years after the initial diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma. This report, as well as the others referenced in this paper, emphasize the need for continued long-term surveillance of patients who have renal cell carcinoma.
