Abstract

Background: The association of primary two thyroid cancer (TC) and papillary renal carcinoma is an uncommon situation and only few cases have been reported. Case presentation: We report the case of a 49-year-old man with a papillary, medullary thyroid cancer in whom a papillary renal cancer was subsequently discovered. The patient was treated with total thyroidectomy and dissection of lymph nodes followed by radiotherapy and radioactive iodine. Conclusions: The simultaneous thyroid and renal carcinomas remains a subject of research, further investigations including tumor mutational status and histopathologic evaluation for each primary tumor are needed.
