Abstract

Liver resection for metastatic cancer has become the standard of care for specific groups of patients, including noncolorectal non-neuroendocrine liver metastases (NCNNELM). Liver metastasis from differentiated thyroid carcinoma is considered rare, with an approximated frequency of 0.5%. We present a case of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) to the liver and literature review. Herein, we report a 72-year-old male that underwent formal left hepatectomy for 4.4 cm metastatic PTC generating left bile duct obstruction. Two months after, presented with multiple small lesions within the hepatic parenchyma and diffuse ductal dilatation of the right biliary system. Therefore, treated with a percutaneous biliary drain placement without complications. In a patient diagnosed with initial Stage II PTC, undergoing total thyroidectomy 10 years before presenting to the clinic. Bearing over a decade of treatments for local and distal recurrences. We believe approaching strategies for this specific disease should be developed to establish standard management.
