ABSTRACT
Thyroid gland being at the receiving end of metastasis from a lung primary is an extremely unusual entity. The presentation is often subject to misdiagnosis and requires coordination on different departmental levels for proper and vigorous management. We report an uncommon clinical picture of a non- thyroid primary malignancy to shed light on importance of the same.
Key words: metastatic thyroid, non- thyroid malignancy, thyroid lump, lung cancer, midline neck swelling
