Abstract
Pulmonary carcinosarcomas (PCS) are uncommon and aggressive malignant tumors with epithelial and mesenchymal components and have a worse prognosis than other non-small-cell lung cancers. Metastases of non-thyroidal malignancies to the thyroid are rare. We reported a unique case of isolated thyroidal metastasis of PCS and discussed 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positivity in incidentally found thyroid nodules on 18F-FDG positron emission tomography scan.
