Role of ultrasonography in thyroid metastases.
The ultrasound features in eight cases of metastases to the thyroid are reported. The primary tumours were bronchogenic carcinoma (4 cases), breast carcinoma (2 cases), oesophageal carcinoma (1 case) and carcinoma of the stomach (1 case). In this series, none of the metastases were from malignant melanoma or a renal neoplasm. Malignant cervical lymphadenopathy was seen in four cases, and five patients had evidence of disseminated disease.
