title: [Metastasis of clear cell carcinoma of the kidney to the thyroid gland].
abstract: We preset three patients operated on at our hospital with diagnosed metastasis clear cell carcinoma of the kidney to the thyroid gland 5, 6, and 9 years after nefrectomy. Patients were operated on because of nodular goiter and metastases were diagnosed intraoperatively (frozen section) at two cases and postoperatively in the remaining care (diagnosis made by pathologist-microscopic examination). A radical thyroidectomy was employed without chemio- or radiotherapy which is now recommended as a method of treatment of clear cell carcinoma metastasis.
