“…The involvement of the esophagus by secondary deposits is a rare occurrence. Such deposits can be asymptomatic 3 or symptomatic may be due to compression (intramural or submucosal) or intraluminal growth. Metastases from unknown primaries or negative biopsies from submucosal growths pose diagnostic dilemmas.…”

The incidence of hematogenous spread at the time of presentation of well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma is the range of 4 to 15%. Distant metastases in the most common cause of death from well-differentiated thyroid cancers. About 5% of papillary carcinoma and 25% of follicular carcinoma develop distant metastases. Distant metastases occur largely in the lungs and to a lesser extent in the bones, brain and soft tissues. We report and discuss the management of an elderly gentleman with papillary carcinoma thyroid metastatic to the esophagus on follow-up. Only one similar published report is described which was from a follicular carcinoma thyroid. Our case of a papillary carcinoma thyroid metastatic to the esophagus seems to be the first if its kind.

“…Many of the reported cases show gross and often well-demarcated endocardial fibrosis with overlying thrombus, and some of the cases of endocardial fibrosis or endomyocardial sclerosis reported from Europe and America do strikingly resemble endomyocardial fibrosis as seen in Uganda. Cardiac thrombi are common in these cases and embolic phenomena have occurred in about half of the cases described both in Europe (Lofier, 1936;Mumme, 1940;Edge, 1946;Gray, 1951;Hughes and Smith, 1953;Lynch and Watt, 1957;Penfold, 1957) and in the United States of America (Smith and Furth, 1943;Toreson, 1944;McKusick and Cochran, 1952;McNicol et al, 1953;Hoffman, Rosenbaum, and Genovese, 1955). The nature of this group of disorders is uncertain, and their inclusion in this discussion does not imply any etiological relation to endomyocardial fibrosis as seen in Africa, but is intended to indicate the relative frequency with which embolic phenomena complicate endomyocardial fibrosis and mural thrombosis in different populations.…”
