Cutaneous metastasis from thyroid carcinoma is rare. It's often combined with other metastasis exceptionally isolated. We report the case of a 60 year-old patient operated in 2008 with thyroid surgery without a surgery report and an anatomo-pathological examination. She presents a huge scalp lesion with bone lysis visible with MRI and scanner. Samples confirmed the metastasis of a follicular thyroid cancer.
Histological section of the skin lesion. The image is similar to the lesion of the left lobe of the thyroid. It can be considered to have metastatic gallbladder cancer infiltrating thyroid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
