Abstract EN
Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common form of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
It is generally confined to the neck with or without spread to regional lymph nodes.
Metastatic thyroid carcinomas are uncommon and mainly include lung and bone.
Metastases involving oral and maxillofacial region are extremely rare.
We described a case of malar metastasis revealing a follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma, presenting with pain and swelling of the left cheek in a 67-years-old female patient with an unspecified histological left lobo-isthmectomy medical history.
To our knowledge, this is the first recorded instance of a malar metastasis from a follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
