Abstract

Cutaneous metastasis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma is rare, and it usually indicates advanced tumor stages. Most of these metastases are seen in the scalp. Lesions can be solitary or multiple. The metastatic deposits are typically present as slow-growing, erythematous or purple-colored, puffy, and ulcerated masses. In this case report, an aggressive follicular thyroid carcinoma with diffuse skin metastases has been discussed with a literature review.

Özet

Differansiye tiroit kanserlerinin seyrinde cilt metastazı nadir görülmektedir ve genellikle ileri tümör evrelerine işaret eder. Skalp, bu metastazların en çok görüldüğü cilt bölgesidir. Lezyonlar; tek ya da çoklu olabilir. Tipik olarak yavaş büyüyen, eritematöz ya da mor renkli, ciltten kabarık, ülserasyon göstermeyen kitleler şeklindedirler. Bu olgu sunumunda, differansiye tiroit kanserlerinde beklenen klinik seyrin dışında yaygın cilt metastazları ile agresif seyreden, literatürde nadir olarak bildirilen folliküler tiroit karsinoması hastası, literatür gözden geçirilerek tartışılmıştır.
