Abstract

Skull or brain metastasis from thyroid carcinoma is rare. Between Jan. 1993. and Jan. 2000. the authors experienced 7 cases of skull(4 cases) or brain(3 cases) metastasis from thyroid carcinoma. Clinical characteristics, radiologic findings and pathologic features were analyzed retrospectively. Among 4 cases of skull metastasis, 3 cases were follicular carcinoma and one was papillary carcinoma with follicular variant. All cases of brain metastasis were papillary carcinoma. We treated the patients by combination with surgical resection, radioactive iodine therapy and radiation therapy. Characteristics of skull or brain metastasis from thyroid carcinoma is reviewed with a pertinent literature.
