Abstract
Ten cases of tumour metastasis to the thyroid gland are reviewed. Thyroid involvement implies disseminated malignant disease, but metastatic tumours may simulate a primary thyroid tumour. It is suggested that thyroid involvement by metastasis is more common than previously assumed. Needle biopsy of the thyroid gland permits accurate histopathological diagnosis.Entities:
