Follicular Carcinoma Thyroid with multiple osteolytic skull metastasis

Abstract

Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma metastases
to bone in about 10 to 40 per cent of patients
with skull metastasis accounting
for 2.5 to 5.8 per cent of bone metastases.
We report here a case of follicular
carcinoma thyroid, who presented to our
unit with a thyroid swelling 2 years before
and diagnosed to be suspicious of follicular
neoplasm, for which she undergone
Total thyroidectomy after a complete
evaluation and sent to radioiodine ablation
therapy to higher centre now presenting
with a multiple scalp swelling.
Neuroimaging with CT Brain showed
multiple osteolytic cranial lesion, which
was proved to be metastases from well
differentiated follicular thyroid carcinoma
