[Cranial and cervical metastases of vascular nature in thyroid cancer. Apropos of 2 cases].
Vesicular and papillovesicular thyroid cancers provoke metastases in bone, but also of the pseudo-aneurysmal lymph node type. When the latter develop in the craniocervical region, they are often diagnosed as vascular tumors (arteriovenous malformation, glomus tumor). It is now possible, by embolization, to excise these lesions although this involves therapeutic audacity. Surgery is not always sufficient, and complementary 131-Iodine treatment should be used routinely, but it is justified for this type of metastasis as shown by survival rate in these patients.
