Abstract

Thyroid metastasis from uveal melanoma is a rare occurrence. We report the case of a 56-year-old woman who was diagnosed with choroidal melanoma, and treated with photodynamic therapy and plaque brachytherapy. An incidental right thyroid lesion was detected during her initial diagnostic workup, for which she subsequently underwent a hemithyroidectomy. Histological examination showed a follicular adenoma containing multiple foci of metastatic choroidal melanoma, representing a unique case of tumour-to-tumour metastasis from a choroidal melanoma to a follicular adenoma of the thyroid. This case highlights the importance of considering metastatic disease as a differential for thyroid lesions arising in patients with a history of malignancy.

甲状腺滤泡腺瘤转移性脉络膜黑色素瘤:一例肿瘤间转移
葡萄膜黑色素瘤的甲状腺转移是罕见的。我们报告了一例56岁的女性,她被诊断为脉络膜黑色素瘤,并接受了光动力疗法和斑块近距离放射治疗。在她最初的诊断检查中发现了一个偶然的右甲状腺病变,随后她接受了甲状腺半切除术。组织学检查显示滤泡性腺瘤包含多个转移性脉络膜黑色素瘤病灶,这是一个从脉络膜黑素瘤到甲状腺滤泡性腺瘤的肿瘤间转移的独特病例。该病例强调了将转移性疾病作为有恶性肿瘤病史患者甲状腺病变的鉴别标准的重要性。
