Giant thyroid metastasis originating from renal carcinoma: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Thyroid metastases from clear cell renal cell carcinoma are rare. Although they often present in combination with primary thyroid tumors, they are difficult to distinguish from primary thyroid tumors on imaging and are easily misdiagnosed preoperatively. In this article, we report a case of clear cell renal cell carcinoma that metastasized to the thyroid gland. A 69-year-old woman had been diagnosed with a thyroid mass 8 years earlier, which gradually enlarged into a giant thyroid tumor. Tumor compression of the trachea caused intermittent wheezing, and the tumor protruded into the thoracic cavity. The patient had a history of right nephrectomy performed 17 years prior due to right kidney necrosis. Following the preliminary diagnosis of a thyroid tumor, we performed a total thyroidectomy. Histopathological examination revealed metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma. The postoperative recovery was good; the patient did not receive further treatment or show signs of recurrence during the 1-year follow-up period. This case illustrates that thyroid metastasis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma can occur many years later and may be present in conjunction with primary thyroid tumors, making preoperative diagnosis difficult. Thorough surgical excision can provide good treatment results. This case report aims to promote the understanding and diagnosis of thyroid metastasis in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
