- Abstract
- Metastasis to the sternum from follicular thyroid carcinoma is very rare. Because of a resistance to radioactive iodine therapy, skeletal metastases from differentiated thyroid cancer are difficult to treat. The surgical resection of skeletal metastatic lesion can be a valuable complement to radioactive iodine therapy and it can offer cure with prolonged survival. We recently experienced a case of follicular thyroid carcinoma with metastasis to the sternum in a 60-year-old woman,who presented with anterior chest wall mass and pain. We present this case with a review of the literature. Korean J Otorhinolaryngol-Head Neck Surg 2010;53:390-3
