ABSTRACT

Distant metastases of differentiated thyroid cancer are usually localised in the lung and bone; less common sites of metastases are the brain, liver, and skin. To find it in other sites it is exceptional. This work shows the clinical, histologycal and therapeutical characteristic of primary tumour in one case of non-typical distant metastases of differentiated thyroid cancer. Papillar thyroid carcinoma was displayed in the case, it presented one metastases in right adrenal gland. In summary, when the initial treatment of well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma it is inaccurate, it is possible to find common and less common sites metastases. Some variants of papillary thyroid carcinoma, like tall cell, have a worse prognosis and they can present metastases in less common sites.
