| Core Tip |
Although bone metastasis from differentiated thyroid cancer is common, it is very rare for bone metastasis to be the solitary presentation of thyroid cancer. Here, we present a case of bone metastasis of follicular thyroid carcinoma with no indication of primary cancer. The patient had undergone partial thyroidectomy 20 years previously for thyroid nodules, but the pathological diagnosis at that time was a benign thyroid lesion. We employed a multi-institution, multidisciplinary team to diagnose and treat this patient, and she has had a good outcome thus far. This case highlights several important issues, such as the importance of follow-up for patients with seemingly indolent lesions and the utility of a comprehensive treatment approach. |
