Solitary metastasis from papillary thyroid carcinoma in cirrhotic liver with hepatocellular carcinoma

Jpn J Clin Oncol. 1993 Oct;23(5):309-12.

Abstract

We report a surgical case of hepatocellular carcinoma and solitary liver metastasis from papillary thyroid carcinoma in different lobes of the liver. The former, located in the right anterior superior segment, and the latter, in the left caudate lobe, were resected simultaneously. The hepatocellular carcinoma was a micro(thin)-trabecular, pseudoglandular type of Edmondson's grade II. The liver metastasis was a papillary carcinoma of follicular variant from the thyroid. This is the first report of hepatocellular carcinoma accompanying a solitary liver metastasis from papillary thyroid carcinoma without metastasis in other organs.
