A case of follicular carcinoma of the thyroid metastatic to the mandible is reported and the literature is reviewed. Present conventional methods for determining the presence of secondary deposits, both in living patients and in cadavers, may account, in part, for the small number of cases reported in the literature involving metastases to the jaws. Careful attention to the medical history, clinical examination, scintigraphy, and results of the biopsy will help to establish early diagnosis of which definitive treatment can be based.
本文报告了一例甲状腺滤泡癌转移至下颌骨的病例，并对相关文献进行了综述。目前用于确定活体患者和尸体中是否存在继发性沉积物的传统方法，可能部分解释了文献中报道的涉及颌骨转移的病例数量较少的原因。仔细关注病史、临床检查、闪烁扫描和活检结果将有助于早期诊断，从而为确定治疗方案提供依据。
