title: Well differentiated papillary carcinoma of thyroid presenting as metastatic liver mass.
abstract: Well differentiated papillary carcinoma of thyroid frequently metastasizes to regional lymph nodes and the patients usually present with cervical or mediastinal lymphadenopathy. In this article, we report a case of papillary thyroid carcinoma with hepatic metastasis presenting as liver mass in absence of lymph nodal metastasis, a presentation not previously reported to the best of our knowledge.
