Abstract

Metastatic tumor of the mandible is a rare lesion and differentiated carcinomas of the thyroid as the primary site of origin are even more uncommon. A case of late metastasis of follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) to the mandible is presented here. The metastasis arose 12 years after thyroidectomy. Although relatively rare, thyroid tumors metastasis to the mandible should be born in mind, as in rare cases this metastasis may be the only presentation of the original malignancy.

摘要

下颌骨转移性肿瘤较为罕见，而甲状腺分化型癌作为其原发灶则更为少见。本文报道了 1 例滤泡状甲状腺癌（FTC）发生于甲状腺切除术后 12 年后的下颌骨远处转移。尽管较为罕见，但对于甲状腺肿瘤向下颌骨转移，我们仍应保持警惕，因为在极少数情况下，这种转移可能是唯一表现的原发恶性肿瘤。
