Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is well known for its unpredictable and diverse behaviour, with tendency to cause synchronous or metachronous metastasis to unusual site, which is why it is called the "internist's tumour."Although thyroid gland is an infrequent site for metastasis of different primary malignancies, metastatic RCC is one of the most common secondary thyroid malignancies. Diagnosis relies on a high index of suspicion in patients with prior RCC, combined with cross-sectional imaging and biopsy. A case of secondary thyroid neoplasm from RCC after 13 years of radical nephrectomy is described with clinicopathological features and literature review.

Objective: Thyroid cancer (TC) therapy, which is routinely used at present, can improve patients' survival rates. However, lymph node metastasis results in a higher degree of TC malignancy in patients who experience recurrence and/or death. The elucidation of new mechanisms of TC metastasis can help identify new therapeutic targets.

Background: Although thyroid cancer is associated with low mortality rates, significant racial disparities in thyroid cancer outcomes have not been adequately studied in Asia. Moreover, the Asian population consists of different ethnic groups that are not homogeneous. This study aimed to perform a population-based analysis of survival outcomes and prognostic factors in thyroid cancer patients.

Objectives: The authors sought to assess whether the age of 18 reflects a true pathological inflection point that justifies transitioning between pediatric and adult paradigms of care with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC).
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted for patients aged 12-24 undergoing hemithyroidectomy or total thyroidectomy for papillary or follicular thyroid carcinoma from 2010 to 2020.
Results: A total of 153 patients receiving surgery for DTC were assessed for pathological stage, nodal metastasis, and thyroid neoplasm characteristics.

Small cell lung carcinoma metastatic to the stomach, whether synchronous or metachronous, is a rare phenomenon accounting for < 0.5% of lung cancers. Hence it can be overlooked by clinicians resulting in delayed diagnosis.
