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.

Follicular carcinoma of the thyroid rarely manifests itself as a distant metastatic lesion, and, when present, is usually found in flat bones. A soft tissue metastasis is extremely rare, and synchronous metastases to the bone and soft tissue is not reported in the literature so far. We report such a case of a 42-yr-old male, who presented with a goiter, scalp and forearm soft tissue swellings, and, fine needle aspiration cytology of all these swellings revealed a follicular neoplasm. A wide excision of the forearm swelling was carried out and the histopathology was consistent with features of metastatic follicular carcinoma of the thyroid. The main stay of treatment is surgical resection of the primary tumor. The various modalities of treatment of metastasis is discussed with a review of literature.

OBJECTIVETo explore a cosmetic incision in the neck dissection for differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
METHODSAn extended collar incision was used for neck dissection in 82 consecutive patients with thyroid carcinoma from May 1999 to December 2006. The incision was designed to start as a conventional thyroid collar incision, and then to extend it along the skin crease to the anterior border of trapezium, so to avoid the vertical limb of conventional hockey stick incision. There were 60 females and 22 males in this series, with a median age of 40.5 years (range, 10 to 80 years). Ninety-six procedures of neck dissection were performed in 82 patients, including one radical neck dissection, one type I modified neck dissection, 8 type II modified neck dissections, and 86 type III modified neck dissections.
RESULTSThe average time of anesthesia was 197 minutes. The average dissected lymph nodes were 37.5, with average metastasis in 8.8 nodes. Eight patients (9.8%) developed complications related to neck dissection. The follow-up period in these patients were 1 to 96 months with a median follow-up time of 23 months. Cervical recurrence was found in only one patient (1.2%). Neither death nor distant metastasis was observed in this series.
CONCLUSIONIt is feasible to perform a modified neck dissection for differentiated thyroid cancer through the extended collar incision. The preliminary results show that the above described incision is not only oncologically safe, but also offers a cosmetic benefit for the patient with thyroid carcinoma.
