Hepatic Metastasis in a Nigerian with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer- An Uncommon Presentation: Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Cancer and Tumor International - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The papillary and follicular histological sub-types of thyroid cancer are referred to as differentiated thyroid cancers. When these tumors metastasize, they rarely do so to the liver. Hepatic metastasis is very uncommon in this group of cancers and has only been reported in a handful of cases. We present one such case in a Nigerian patient and note its unique presentation and with it, we highlight the need for careful attention to be paid to clinical and investigation findings when attempts are being made to arrive at a definitive diagnosis in cases of suspected primary liver cell cancers which are common in this part of the world.
