Although secondary involvement of the thyroid gland by cell renal carcinoma (RCC) is rare, it is still one of the more common neoplasms
to metastasize to this site. We report a case of 64 years old male with a clear RCC metastasize to the thyroid.

Introduction: the pyramidal lobe of the thyroid (PL) is an embryological remnant of the thyroglossal duct, established as a
normal component of the thyroid gland, which can vary greatly in shape, position, appearance and size, and is not present in
all individuals. Its prevalence can vary from 12% to 80% according to the type of study. Sua prevalên...

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is known to cause metastasis to unusual sites, which can be both synchronous or metachronous. Thyroid gland is a rare site for metastasis. However, RCC is the most common primary neoplasm to metastasize to the Thyroid gland. Report of three cases and review of the literature.
Chromophobe carcinoma constitutes a small subset of all renal carcinomas. Within this category, rare tumors with divergent differentiation have been recognized. Herein, we report a rare case of composite chromophobe and collecting duct carcinoma and describe its pathologic and clinical features.

... The subsequent follow up was negative. A thyroid nodule in a patient with a history of RCC should be considered as potentially metastatic [8]. It's impossible to distinguish between primary and secondary thyroid neoplasms on imaging, in fact, clinical manifestation and radiographic findings are nonspecific. ...
