Abstract

Follicular carcinoma of the thyroid with metastases is considered a relatively progressive tumor associated with a poor five-year survival rate^1)2), and the metastasis to skull from carcinoma of thyroid is rare type of metastatic bone tumors. We experienced a case of metastatic follicular adenocarcinoma of the thyroid on the left parietal in 55 year-old korea female. She had thyroidectomy 5 years ago, and complained of headache and slow growing soft palpable mass on the left parietal region for 1 year. The general concept of bone metastasis of thyroid carcinoma with the review of literature was discussed.
