Introduction: This is a report of an ileocecal adenocarcinoma metastasizing to a follicular papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), describing the 7th reported case of primary colorectal carcinoma metastasizing to thyroid carcinomas.
Case Report: A 64-year-old woman was found to have a T4bN2bM0 ACP stage C high-grade invasive ileocecal adenocarcinoma. Subsequent metastases to the left hemithyroid, liver segment 8 and bilateral lungs were found. Histopathology from left hemithyroidectomy revealed a partly necrotic colorectal adenocarcinoma adjacent to a separate PTC lesion.
Conclusion: Adopting a standardized approach to describing the microscopic findings would enhance reporting of these occurrences and improve management and follow-up for patients.
Keywords: Collision tumor, Metastatic colorectal carcinoma, Papillary thyroid carcinoma
