Senthamizh Selvan K, Pugazhendhi T

Abstract :

 Thyroid gland metastasis is an extremely rare phenomenon. We report a case of 54 years old male presenting with thyroid swelling, pain and dysphagia. FNAC of the thyroid showed squamous cell carcinomatous deposits. CECT of neck/thorax/abdomen showed circumferential wall thickening from mid esophagus upto cardia of the stomach. Upper GI endoscopy showed growth esophagus and its biopsy revealed poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Patient was treated with palliative radiotherapy. We present this case because of its rarity.
