Abstract:
The mandibular metastatic spread of carcinoma from the thyroid gland is exceedingly rare. Follicular thyroid carcinoma is the second most common type of thyroid carcinoma，accounting for approximately 10% to 15% of all thyroid cancers. The prognosis of FTC is relatively satisfactory. Due to its rich blood transport, it is easy to metastasize hematological, with the main sites of metastasis are bone and lung. However，mandibular metastasis of thyroid follicular carcinoma is rare. We report a case of thyroid follicular carcinoma that metastasized to the ascending ramus of the mandible 21 years after surgery.The operation was successfully completed, and there was no recurrence during postoperative follow-up. Due to the absence of obvious clinical symptoms in the patient, the diagnosis and treatment were challenging. We have provided detailed radiographic and pathological images to facilitate understanding and discussion of the disease.
