Abstract
ABSTRACT: Approximately 1% of colorectal cancers can be attributed to metastatic neoplasms originating from other primary sources typically the lung, ovary, breast, prostate, kidney, or skin. Metastasis to the colon from the thyroid however is exceedingly rare. We present a 76-year-old man with a history of papillary thyroid carcinoma WHO presented with colon polyps consistent with carcinoma from his papillary thyroid carcinoma. The findings in this report suggest prompt colorectal cancer screening after thyroid cancer diagnosis and regular screening thereafter.
