Metastasis of ductal carcinoma of the breast to the thyroid gland is uncommon and usually detected at autopsy. The incidences of metastases to the thyroid have been reported at 3%, and the most common primary malignancy is renal cell carcinoma. We report a rare case of intrathyroid metastatsis of breast ductal carcinoma in a patient who was treated for breast cancer 15 years earlier.
