Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid is well known for metastasis to
regional lymph nodes resulting in early detection and overall favorable
prognosis. Solitary metastasis of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid in
the cerebrum is extremely rare with only a few cases reported in the
literature. Here, we report an unusual case of a 40-year-old female
patient who presented with neurological symptoms and a radiological
diagnosis of meningioma was made. Subsequent histopathology from
the resected brain tumor revealed a solitary cerebral metastasis from
papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. There was no involvement of
regional lymph nodes and the radiological findings were indicative
of a primary brain tumor.
