Occult Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma Presenting as a Frontal Bone Metastasis: A Case Report

This is a rare case of metastatic follicular carcinoma of thyroid in a patient with no history of thyroid problem. A frontal bone mass was examined microscopically and showed the pattern of metastatic follicular carcinoma. Thyroid ultrasonography then revealed a nodule in left lobe. Total thyroidectomy was done for the patient and microscopic examination confirmed the diagnosis.

Renal metastases from well differentiated follicular thyroid carcinoma.A case report with light and electron microscopic findings

The second case of metastatic follicular carcinoma of the thyroid presenting during life as bilateral renal masses is described. Metastases appeared 18 years after resection of the primary and on clinical evaluation were confined to the kidneys. Although most malignant tumors which present clinically in the kidney are primary there, a review of the literature indicates that the possibility of metastatic tumor must be kept in mind, particularly when the renal tumor is bilateral.
