Primary malignancies presenting with multiple distant metastases include lung cancer, gastrointestinal malignancy, breast cancer, and prostatic cancer. Multiple distant metastases from follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) are uncommon. Cystic formation in FTC is an atypical finding in ultrasonography. The cystic formation of a thyroid nodule is usually considered a benign sonographic finding. We report the case of a 78-year-old man who presented with multiple distant metastases from an FTC with a predominantly cystic formation.
出现多处远处转移的原发性恶性肿瘤包括肺癌、胃肠道恶性肿瘤、乳腺癌和前列腺癌。滤泡状甲状腺癌（FTC）出现多处远处转移并不常见。FTC中的囊性形成在超声检查中是一种非典型表现。甲状腺结节的囊性形成通常被认为是一种良性超声表现。我们报告一例78岁男性患者，其FTC出现多处远处转移，且主要为囊性形成。
