Resumen
MARTI, Alejandro; ROMERO-ROJAS, Alfredo; MOJICA, Orlando y CUELLAR, Diana. Pancreatic metastasis, an unusual site for thyroid cancer spread. Documented by PET CT/FDG and histopathology. rev.colomb.cancerol. [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.3, pp.184-190. ISSN 0123-9015. https://doi.org/10.10167j.rccan.2015.04.004.
Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (DTC) is the most frequently found malignant endocrine neoplasia. It is usually slow developing, allowing for surgical management and ablation therapy with Iodine 131, achieving complete remission in the great majority of cases. However, a small percentage of tumours are aggressive, with distant metastases to lung, bone, brain, and foci of cellular dedifferentiation, which worsens prognosis and limits therapeutic options. In the monitoring process of the CDT, Positron emission tomography with glucose analogue (PET/CT with F18 - FDG) remains an important diagnostic and prognostic imaging tool. The case is presented of a 50 year old male patient with papillary thyroid cancer and metastatic disease in the pancreas, an unusual site in this disease.
