title: [Sonographic diagnosis of secondary blastomas of the thyroid gland].
abstract: The value of sonography for examining the thyroid has long been recognised. Secondary tumours are rarely demonstrated surgically. We examined retrospectively 14 patients with histologically proven secondary tumours which had been investigated by us tumours which had been investigated by us preoperatively. We were unable to determine any differential features between primary and secondary thyroid tumours. One can point out only that the development of thyroid tumours in the presence of a known primary may be due to metastases.
