Thyroid carcinoma metastatic to the globe.
We report a case of thyroid carcinoma metastatic to the globe. In our survey we found thyroid carcinomas to metastasise to the eye rarely. In addition, we found metastases from the thyroid to be more common to the orbit than to the globe--a reverse of the pattern noted with tumours in general.
