In April 2006, a 55-year-old female presented with a thyroid mass and multiple skin nodules on scalp, forehead and neck. Fine needle aspiration cytology of thyroid mass and multiple skin nodules show tumor cells clusters in a repetitive microfollicular pattern on May-Grunwald-Giemsa stain suggestive of follicular thyroid carcinoma with metastasis to skin. Although follicular carcinoma have a propensity for vascular invasion and hematogenous dissemination, skin is not commonly involved. Only a few cases of cutaneous metastasis from follicular thyroid carcinoma are reported in the English language literature.
2006年4月，一名55岁女性因甲状腺肿块以及头皮、前额和颈部的多个皮肤结节就诊。甲状腺肿块和多个皮肤结节的细针穿刺细胞学检查显示，May-Grunwald-Giemsa染色下肿瘤细胞呈重复的微滤泡样聚集，提示滤泡状甲状腺癌伴皮肤转移。尽管滤泡状癌易于发生血管侵犯和血行播散，但皮肤并不常受累。英文文献中仅报道了少数几例滤泡状甲状腺癌皮肤转移的病例。
