ABSTRACT
The case is presented of 78 year-old who consulted due to decreased visual acuity in right eye for several months. Indirect ophthalmoscopy revealed an orange-yellow coloured choroidal mass at the posterior pole, without retinal detachment. Computed tomography showed a thyroid mass in the isthmus, as well as multiple pulmonary nodules and metastatic foci. The findings of transbronchial lung biopsy were compatible with metastatic dissemination. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid nodule was diagnostic for a with columnar cell variant of papillary thyroid cancer. Positron emission tomography confirmed papillary thyroid carcinoma. The patient underwent total thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine therapy.
