Abstract

Malignant serous cavity effusion caused by primary thyroid cancer is extremely rare in routine clinical practice. Therefore, it is often not included in the differential diagnostic workup of patients presenting with positive effusion cytology. Hurthle cell carcinoma (HCC), a variant of a follicular carcinoma of the thyroid, is an aggressive type of differentiated thyroid cancer now considered a distinct pathologic entity. It may present as a low-grade tumor or as a more aggressive type. Pulmonary metastasis of thyroid cancer has been well documented. However malignant pleural effusion with hurthle cell neoplasm of thyroid has been rarely reported.
