“…Metastatic carcinomas to the thyroid are relatively rare compared with primary thyroid lesions. The incidence of metastatic carcinoma to the thyroid varies from 1.3 to 24% worldwide among autopsy studies 1, 4, 5, 9, 10. An early, large study of 2,050 consecutive autopsies has shown that the incidence is ∼9.5% in the United States 10.…”

“…The metastatic spread of malignancies to the thyroid gland is relatively rare,1–8 ranging from 1.3 to 24% among autopsy studies 1, 4, 5, 9, 10. Previously published research has suggested that pre‐existing thyroid diseases, such as multinodular goiter, may be associated more often with metastatic carcinomas to the thyroid gland 10, 11, 12.…”

“…The incidence of metastatic carcinoma to the thyroid varies from 1.3 to 24% worldwide among autopsy studies. 1,4,5,9,10 An early, large study of 2,050 consecutive autopsies has shown that the incidence is *9.5% in the United States. 10 In this study, the most common metastatic carcinomas in a descending order are melanoma (39%), breast carcinoma (21%), renal cell carcinoma (12%), lung carcinoma (11%), lymphoma (10%), head and neck carcinoma (10%), colorectal carcinoma (4), and gastric carcinoma (2%).…”

“…1,4,5,9,10 Previously published research has suggested that pre-existing thyroid diseases, such as multinodular goiter, may be associated more often with metastatic carcinomas to the thyroid gland. 10,11,12 In the western world, the most common malignancies that metastasize to the thyroid are melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, breast carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and head and neck carcinomas.…”

“…They have been reported mostly in autopsy series with incidence ranging from 1.9% to 22.4%. 7 Studies have shown that one of the most common neoplasms to metastasize to the thyroid gland is renalcell carcinoma. 5 Even though the features of most metastatic neoplasms are distinct and can be easily separated from primary thyroid neoplasms, there are occasions when the solitary thyroid nodule (originating from a metastatic neoplasm) may be a diagnostic dilemma.…”
