description | Thyroid carcinoma is uncommon in our geographical setting. When it occurs the leading histological type is papillary thyroid carcinoma followed by follicular thyroid carcinoma which are differentiated thyroid carcinomas. Differentiated thyroid carcinomas usually have a good prognosis as compared to undifferentiated thyroid carcinomas. Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma usually presents with a solitary thyroid nodule with or without cervical lymphadenopathy. We present a 57 year old female with history of anterior neck swelling for 5 years and inability to walk using the left lower limb for 2 years. Total thyroidectomy and modified neck dissection was done. Histopathology results revealed follicular thyroid carcinoma. Patient was received radiochemotherapy treatment post-surgery. Follicular thyroid carcinoma may present with a symptomatic distant metastatic bony lesion as presented. It is important for clinicians to be aware this and carry out confirmatory relative investigations. |
