증 례 : 재발한 자궁경부암에서 전이성 갑상선암 = Case Reports : Metastatic Thyroid Gland Tumor Presenting as an Initial Manifestation of Recurrent Uterine Cervical Cancer

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Most patients with recurrent uterine cervical cancer have intra-pelvis metastasis with adjacent lymph node involvement, while a lone, distant metastasis is extremely rare. We report a 79-year-old woman with recurrent uterine cervical cancer that presented as thyroid mass with no intra-pelvic recurrence. Four years earlier, the patient had been diagnosed with uterine cervical cancer. She had undergone a course of concurrent chemoradiotherapy to the pelvis and had no subsequent evidence of recurrence. Several weeks before presenting, she had noticed a foreign body sensation in her throat and a palpable mass in the left side of her neck. Clinically, this was metastatic squamous cell carcinoma from the uterine cervix. Patients who present with swelling or palpable nodules in the neck with a previously diagnosed malignancy must be evaluated for metastatic disease, although metastasis from uterine cervical carcinoma to the thyroid gland is rare.
