Abstract

The authors report the case of a 57-year-old patient operated for adrenal metastasis from follicular thyroid carcinoma with intracardiac thrombus, who subsequently developed disseminated metastases leading to death 9 months after the operation. Adrenal metastases of thyroid carcinomas are rare and can be treated surgically when they are isolated. These metastases may appear many years after initial thyroid surgery requiring regular surveillance, especially by serum thyroglobulin assay in the case of well differentiated carcinoma.
