SECONDARY NEOPLASM OF THE THYROID PRESENTING AS A GOITRE.

Secondary neoplasm is a very rare finding in a goitre despite the numerous reports of metastatic deposits in the thyroid gland at necropsy. Eleven cases are reported of such deposits presenting clinically as a thyroid nodule, the sites of origin including a meningioma and an unusual carcinoma of the skin. Some of the factors, including pre-existent degenerative processes, believed to determine the incidence of secondary neoplasm in the thyroid, are discussed together with the problems of establishing the diagnosis.

Attention is drawn to the lack of correlation between the varied histological features and clinical findings in this group of tumours and the inadvisability of forecasting behaviour.
