Multiple bone metastasis from an initially missed diagnosed follicular thyroid carcinoma in thyroid lobectomy 5 years earlier: A case report.

Key Points

Bone metastasis was diagnosed after initial treatment for a benign goiter, leading to significant complications.
The woman displayed osteolytic lesions in her hips, indicating aggressive disease progression over five years.
Pathological analysis confirmed adenocarcinoma with thyroid markers TTF-1 and Thyroglobulin, reinforcing cancer diagnosis.
The findings highlight the importance of thorough follow-up in thyroid conditions to prevent missed diagnoses.

Abstract

Case: A 53-year-old woman underwent right thyroid lobectomy 5 years ago, which was initially diagnosed as benign goiter. She developed her hip pain with osteolytic lesions both hips and multiple bone metastases. The pathology of iliac bone biopsy was adenocarcinoma with TTF-1 and Thyroglobulin positive, suggesting thyroid carcinoma of high possibility.
