Abstrakt:	Introduction: Thyroid carcinoma is the most common endocrine cancer which may manifest with unusual presentations. We addressed distant metastases as the first presentations of thyroid carcinoma in several patients, though previously considered to occur rarely. Methods: In this case series, 10 patients are introduced with signs and symptoms of distant metastasis. Detailed history, physical examination, laboratory data, and histopathologic final report of thyroid cancer are presented. Conclusion: Although it seems unusual to discover a distant metastasis without abnormal thyroid examination, several reports of similar findings urge the need to improve screening process. It is prudent to bear in mind these presentations for early detection of thyroid carcinoma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
