Cutaneous metastasis from follicular carcinoma thyroid - A rare behaviour of differentiated thyroid carcinoma
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Abstract:Cutaneous metastases from differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTC) is a rare phenomenon as they usually behave in an indolent manner with low metastatic potential. Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) ranks second among thyroid cancers accounting for 10 – 20% of all thyroid malignancies. Less than thirty cases of cutaneous metastases from FTC have been reported so far in the English Literature and majority affects the scalp. We report a case of a 53-year-old man with fleshy nodules on front and sides of the neck which was proven to be a metastatic follicular carcinoma of thyroid origin, hurthle cell variant. Keywords:Cutaneous metastasis,follicular thyroid carcinoma, endocrine malignancy.
