Distant metastases of papillary thyroid cancers are rare. Most common metastatic sites include bone and lung, whereas metastases to brain, eye, breast, liver, kidney, muscle, and skin are infrequent and almost always appear in advanced-stage tumor disease. Metastases to ovary and/or uterus are even scarcer. We report herein a very exceptional case of asymptomatic malignant-to-benign tumor-to-tumor metastasis of thyroid origin into a uterine leiomyoma.
