Thyroid Metastasis from Colorectal Cancer: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
A 68-year-old man with sigmoid carcinoma was initially treated by surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy. Two years later, he was admitted to the hospital for recurrence of his disease with iliac parietal nodules and nodules in the recto-vesical pouch. Follow-up imaging with 18-Fluoro-2-Deoxy-D-Glucose Positron Emission Tomography (18-FDG PET) showed a focal increased uptake in the left side of the neck at the level of the thyroid gland and the absence of lung or liver metastases.
