    BackgroundPapillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common subtype of thyroid cancers, accounting for >90% of all thyroid carcinomas. Despite a favorable long-term survival rate of 94.4%, people with distant metastases show worse outcome. Cerebral metastases are slightly uncommon and stand for only 1%-3% of all metastases.Case DescriptionWe present a 56-year-old male patient complaining of serious headaches for >20 days. He underwent thyroidectomy surgery 13 years ago due to papillary thyroid carcinoma and was reported "tumor free" on his follow-ups without any complaints. On his cranial magnetic resonance imaging scan a right temporal mass lesion was detected. During surgery, the tumor was removed and reported as papillary thyroid carcinoma metastasis.ConclusionA case in which a patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma developed brain metastasis after such a long time was not reported in the literature before.Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
