“…According to the review of 34 cases by Campbell et al (3) Although any tumor may be a potential recipient of metastasis, RCC is by far the most common recipient among malignant tumors (4,5) and meningioma among benign tumors (6). Meanwhile, lung cancer is the most frequent metastatic donor (7), followed by tumors of the prostate and thyroid (5 (4,5,10).…”

“…The presence of tumor-to-tumor metastasis is rare [16,[18][19][20]. The definition of cancer metastasizing to cancer has been controversial, and certain strict criteria are now accepted: (1) the recipient tumor must be a true neoplasm, (2) the donor tumor must be a true metastasis (direct contiguous spreading is not acceptable as metastasis) [19,20].…”

Metastatic disease to thyroid gland is a rare event. Although renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been reported to metastasize the thyroid gland, metastatic RCC to a thyroid neoplasm is very unusual. We report a case of a 68-year-old man with history of RCC who presented with a 2.5-cm thyroid nodule. Histologic examination demonstrates a renal cell carcinoma metastatic to a papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. The clinicopathologic features of metastatic disease into a thyroid gland neoplasm are shown, and a review of the literature is presented.

“…The rarity of a metastasis of cancer to cancer (Rabson et al, 1954;Berg, 1955;Gore and Barr, 1958;Anlyan et al, 1970) therefore seems to justify the assumption that a primary carcinoma provides an unfavourable environment for the metastatic implantation and development of another malignant turnout. Benign, slowly growing tumours like meningiomas possibly offer a better soil for the implantation and growth of a metastatic tumour.…”
