The authors report a case of a solitary thyroid metastasis in a 62-year-old woman. The clinical history of the patient and the histologic findings are consistent with a renal origin of the tumor.
Gli Autori riportano un caso di metastasi unica tiroidea in una donna di 62 anni. I dati anamnestici ed i reperti anatomo-patologici suggeriscono una origine renale della neoplasia.
