Clear cell renal carcinoma (CCRC) is a tumor with great metastatic capacity, although the presence of metastases in the thyroid gland is very uncommon. Therefore it is important to know the oncological background of the patient and to perform a complete immunohistochemical analysis of the thyroid lesion to obtain a correct diagnosis. Thyroidectomy can be considered in patients with no other metastasis or in those who present compressive symptoms as a palliative measure. We present two cases of patients with clear cell type renal cell carcinoma, without a previously known another metastasis of renal origin and symptomatic goiter containing a nodule that was found to be a metastatic lesion.
Keywords: thyroid gland, renal cell carcinoma, metastatic disease, immunohistochemistry.
