There are various definitions of the term in the literature: Thyroid Carcinoma Occult". According to the most recent online version of the Merriam- Webster dictionary, "occult carcinoma" means "not manifest or detectable by clinical methods alone" as well as "not present in macroscopic amounts." The phrase "occult primary malignancy" is defined as "unknown primary malignancy that is symptomless, which first manifests itself as metastases or secondary paraneoplastic phenomena" in the 2002 edition of the McGraw-Hill Concise Dictionary of Modern Medicine.
