Abstract :Thyroid cancer, a common endocrine malignancy, has shown a notable rise in the occurrence in recent times and is commonly linked with breast cancer. While it generally presents a positive prognosis, the cancer’s aggressiveness and the stage at which it is diagnosed play crucial roles in determining the outcome. The objective of this case report is to emphasize the metastatic progression and uncommon metastatic locations in a patient diagnosed with thyroid cancer and concurrent unstaged breast cancer, who did not receive follow-up care for 20 years. The report also includes positron-emission tomography findings.
