A 75-year-old lady was referred to the oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) team with a painless swelling in the midline of her forehead. Investigations diagnosed it as a solitary metastasis of thyroid cancer. Follicular thyroid cancers are known to metastasise to bone; however, bony metastasis to the frontal bone of the skull is very rare. This case highlights how the effective use of a multidisciplinary team can lead to better patient outcomes. The patient went on to have a total thyroidectomy and received both radioactive iodine therapy and radiotherapy to the bony metastasis.
一位75岁的女性因前额中线无痛性肿胀被转诊至口腔颌面外科（OMFS）团队。检查诊断为甲状腺癌单发转移。已知滤泡性甲状腺癌会转移至骨骼；然而，颅骨额骨的骨转移非常罕见。该病例凸显了多学科团队的有效协作如何能带来更好的患者治疗效果。患者随后接受了甲状腺全切术，并对骨转移灶进行了放射性碘治疗和放射治疗。
