title: Thyroid metastases from renal carcinoma.
abstract: The identification and diagnosis of thyroid metastases from renal adenocarcinoma are rare in living patients, though more frequent during autopsy. A case is reported in which the identification of thyroid metastases indicated a clear-cell renal carcinoma in a kidney treated 12 years earlier for emptying of multiple cysts.
