Metastases to the bone are the most common malignant bone tumors. Prostate, breast, and lung carcinomas are the most common primaries of bone metastases. Bone metastases show poor prognosis in means of median survival; however, some patients with highly curable tumors such as thyroid carcinoma may benefit from treatment. We report and discuss a unique case of a 70-year-old female patient presenting with arm pain, diagnosed with metastatic well-differentiated follicular carcinoma without a primary tumor in the thyroid.
骨转移是最常见的恶性骨肿瘤。前列腺癌、乳腺癌和肺癌是骨转移最常见的原发肿瘤。骨转移患者的中位生存期预后较差;然而,一些患有高治愈率肿瘤的患者,如甲状腺癌患者,可能从治疗中获益。我们报告并讨论了一例独特的病例,一名70岁女性患者因手臂疼痛就诊,被诊断为转移性高分化滤泡癌,甲状腺未发现原发肿瘤。
