Cerebral metastases from papillary thyroid carcinoma are rare. They are aggressive tumours associated with a poor prognosis. We report a patient presenting with multiple cerebral metastases as the primary presentation of her disseminated disease. These metastases were treated with surgical resection followed by external beam radiotherapy and radioactive iodine therapy. We suggest that early diagnosis and treatment of cerebral metastases of papillary thyroid carcinoma can result in good outcomes.
甲状腺乳头状癌脑转移较为罕见，侵袭性强，预后较差。我们报告了一例以多发脑转移为首发表现的患者，其转移灶经手术切除联合外放疗和放射性碘治疗后获得了良好的预后。我们建议对甲状腺乳头状癌脑转移患者进行早期诊断和治疗，以获得较好的疗效。
