Abstract:Objective To explore the clinical diagnosis and treatment of follicular thyroid carcinoma (follicular thyroid carcinoma,FTC) with mandibular metastasis.MethodsA case of thyroid cancer with mandibular metastasis was reviewed, and the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of the disease were discussed by reviewing the relevant literature of the disease.ResultsThe patient underwent preoperative CT scanning: The nature of the left thyroid lobe mass is to be determined, which was considered thyroid cancer; the left ascending branch of the mandible is damaged and soft tissue is formed. Considering the possibility of giant cell tumor of bone. The subtotal thyroidectomy was performed, and the ascending branches and masses of the mandible were removed. Postoperative pathology confirmed follicular thyroid cancer metastasis.Postoperative reexamination showed no recurrence or metastasis after one year.ConclusionThe cell atypia of follicular thyroid carcinoma is relatively less obvious, and its rapid pathological diagnosis is difficult during operation, and mandibular metastases are rare. Both imaging doctors and clinicians must carefully read the imaging pictures, evaluate the source of multiple tumors in the whole body based on the medical history,so as to make a relatively correct diagnosis and treatment plan to avoid misdiagnosis.
