Abstract
|
|
|
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), the commonest thyroid malignancy, has a good prognosis and low incidence of distant metastases, Brain metastases from PTC are extremely rare. The frequency of it reported as 0.1% to 5% in several reported
series.
A 24-year-old man noted a mass in his neck at 19 years of age. The diagnosis of PTC was made by the biopsy of the mass. Total thyroidectomy, postoperative internal radiation and daily 400μg thyroxine therapy was done. The tonic contraction of
the
right
leg evolving to secondary generalized seizure was noted at the age of 24 years old. A brain MRI showed 1×1cm enhancing mass in the left frontal lobe without perilesional edema. The brain mass was removed by the CRW-guided stereotactic surgery.
The
brain metastasis of PTC was confirmed histopathologically.
