We present a clinical case of the 68-years-old woman with complaints of enlarged neck, more pronounced at the left side and sore throat. In the course of ultrasound examination, conglomerate mass in left of thyroid gland was revealed. More than that, in the lumen of the internal jugular vein the formation of an average echogenicity was found. Following fine-needle aspiration biopsy revealed signs of colloid struma (Bethesda II). The patient underwent left-sided hemithyroidectomy. Atrevision while the operation the left thyroid gland is enlarged in the size due to the nodal formation spreading to the left angle of the lower jaw and locating retrosternal and behind trachea. Postoperative histological examination revealed metastasis of kindey cancer in the left thyroid gland with the signs of invasive growth to surrounding vessels and muscles.
