Abstract
Introduction: We report a case of an 89-year-old patient, who presented with melena and physical degradation at the emergency department. As cause for his symptoms, we found an upper GI-bleeding from a metastasis of a follicular thyroid carcinoma, for which the patient was surgically treated in the year 1996.
