We report two otherwise healthy patients with no prior history of thyroid cancer, who presented to us with a solitary scalp lump. Neuroimaging of both patients showed osteolytic lesions involving the cranium which were subjected to complete excision biopsy and cranioplasty. Histopathological examination revealed metastases from well differentiated follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC). Subsequent workup confirmed occult primary carcinoma of the thyroid gland in both patients.
我们报告了两名既往无甲状腺癌病史的健康患者，他们因头皮出现单个肿块前来就诊。两名患者的神经影像学检查均显示颅骨有溶骨性病变，这些病变均接受了完整切除活检及颅骨成形术。组织病理学检查显示为高分化滤泡状甲状腺癌（FTC）转移灶。后续检查证实两名患者均存在隐匿性甲状腺原发性癌。
