Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma thyroid from functionally cured cancer cervix

Abstract: The authors report a very unusual occurrence of a metastatic squamous carcinoma to thyroid gland from a treated squamous cell carcinoma cervix 12 years before with no recurrence at the primary site. The case also has an additional complexity of rapid progression of the metastatic thyroid carcinoma to wide spread dissemination to lungs and bones while on concurrent chemo radio therapy confirming the aggressiveness of the entity.

“…Metastasis of cervical cancer to the thyroid gland is rare, with only 14 cases having been reported, including our case ( Table 1 ) 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 . The mean age of the reported patients was 55 years (range: 36–72 years; n = 14).…”

“…They develop either due to the metaplastic transformation of follicular epithelial cells or from a remnant of the thyroglossal duct wall. 5 In case of primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), thyroid neoplastic cells arise from thyroidal cells and this transformation is noticed histologically, while in this study thyroidal component was well demarcated from the neoplastic cells suggesting metastatic infiltration. Immunohistochemically, negative staining with thyroglobulin, TTF-1, and calcitonin ruled out primary malignancy.…”

“…The metastatic tumor can be synchronous or metachronous and the patient with the metachronous disease is known to have better survival. 5 The mean latency between diagnosing primary malignancy and its metastases is longest for sarcoma (~70 months) and shortest in lung cancer (4.5 months). 1 In our patient, the metastatic disease developed when she was receiving her last fraction of radiotherapy, thereby making it a synchronous growth.…”
