Coexistence of subacute thyroiditis and renal cell carcinoma: a paraneoplastic syndrome.
Renal cell carcinoma is characterized by varied manifestations, which include unusual metastatic sites and paraneoplastic and vascular syndromes. We describe the case of a 57-year-old man who presented with high fever, weight loss, palpitations and a tender goitre. We suggest that, in this patient, subacute thyroiditis manifested as a paraneoplastic syndrome of renal cell carcinoma.
