Thorax CT revealed multiple nodule formations that were atypically scattered along bilateral lungs (Figure 2).
A focus of thyroid papillary carcinoma is seen while penetrating into an alveolar lumen near the arteriole. In the focus of the metastasis, the follicular and papillary structures presenting with colloid in their lumens are displayed along with the psammoma body (H&E x100).

The result of biopsy was consistent with thyroid papillary carcinoma (Figures 3 and 4).
In a closer look, follicular and papillary structures, psammoma body, and intranuclear inclusions become visible as well (H&E x200).
