Distant metastatic disease from thyroid carcinoma is becoming a rare problem. Physicians and the public are increasingly aware of minimally invasive methods of early diagnosis of thyroid malignancy, such as fine-needle aspiration with cytologic examination. Total thyroidectomy itself has become less associated with morbidity than it once was. We describe three patients with follicular thyroid carcinoma metastatic to the skull who were seen recently. Two of these patients had masses neglected for 20 and 50 years, respectively. The management of this disease entity is discussed.
甲状腺癌的远处转移性疾病正变得越来越罕见。医生和公众越来越意识到甲状腺恶性肿瘤的早期诊断采用微创方法，如细针穿刺及细胞学检查。全甲状腺切除术本身与发病率的相关性已比过去降低。我们描述了最近见到的3例颅骨转移的滤泡状甲状腺癌患者。其中2例患者的肿块分别被忽视了20年和50年。本文讨论了这种疾病实体的处理。
