We report a unique case of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) with squamous metaplasia complicated with chronic discharging ulcer. A 76-year-old gentleman was referred to us after defaulted treatment 1 year post-total thyroidectomy. He presented to us with long-standing chronic, non-healing, ulcerative and discharging wound at the anterior neck at previous total thyroidectomy scar. The primary tumour was histologically diagnosed as papillary malignant cells with extensive squamous metaplasia. Squamous metaplasia is a rare finding in thyroid carcinoma that carried a poorer prognostic factor.
我们报告了一例独特的分化型甲状腺癌(DTC),伴有鳞状化生并合并慢性流脓性溃疡。一名76岁男性在全甲状腺切除术后1年未接受治疗后转诊至我院。他因先前全甲状腺切除术后颈部前方长期存在慢性、不愈合、溃疡性且流脓的伤口前来就诊。原发性肿瘤经组织学诊断为具有广泛鳞状化生的乳头状恶性细胞。鳞状化生在甲状腺癌中是一种罕见的表现,提示预后较差。
