Introduction: Thyroid localization of breast cancer is rare and has a poor prognosis. Common metastatic sites of mammary carcinoma are pulmonary, hepatic and bone. Clinical diagnosis of thyroid metastasis from malignancy is difficult. We report a case of thyroid metastasis of mammary origin. We then discuss the diagnostic methods and their peculiarities in the identification of such lesions. Observation: This was a 47-year-old patient who underwent a left mastectomy with ipsilateral axillary lymph node dissection in 2014 and was presented 9 years later following the onset of a thyroid mass and right spinal lymphadenopathy. Cervical imaging revealed cervical lymphadenopathy of spinal site and nodular goiter classified as EU-TIRADS 4. A cytopuncture of the cervical lymphadenopathy and thyroid nodule is performed. Cytology revealed thyroid metastasis from mammary carcinoma and metastatic cervical lymphadenopathy. The patient underwent surgery (total thyroidectomy) confirming the diagnosis. Conclusion: The diagnosis of thyroid metastasis should be suspected in patients with a history of neoplasia prior to nodular goiter. The treatment for these metastases is that of primary cancer.
