Dysphagia and Dysphonia in a Woman with a Previous Breast Cancer
Overview
Affiliations
Metastasis to the thyroid occur infrequently. The overall incidence in autopsy series vary from 0-5% in unselected cases to 24% in patients with a known malignancy. They usually occur when there are another metastases, sometimes many years after diagnosis of the original primary tumour. We present the case of a woman with dysphagia and dysphonia due to a thyroid mass as first manifestation of a metastatic breast cancer.
