It is well known that metastasis of thyroid carcinoma frequently occurs in the bone. However, cases are rare in which severe general skeletal metastasis are demonstrated and small primary thyroid carcinoma can not be detected clinically.The author will report here an autopsy case of clinically latent thyroid carcinoma with intensive bone and lung metastases.
