Orbital metastasis as primary clinical manifestation of thyroid carcinoma: case report and literature review

Abstract: Capillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common neoplasm of thyroid. It usually grows slowly and is clinically indolent, although rare, its aggressive forms with local invasion or distant metastases can occur. Metastatic thyroid carcinoma rarely involves the orbit. We reported an uncommon case of orbital metastasis of PTC. A 66-years-old woman presented proptosis of the right eye. The biopsy of the tumor in orbit revealed metastatic thyroid carcinoma. The ultrasensitive TSH level was 1,34 mUI/L and free T… Show more

“…Craniofacial resection or debulking with or without preoperative vascular embolization can be considered, however, the proximity of the metastatic tumor to the skull base may preclude surgical extirpation [59, 67, 69]. Radioiodine therapy, external beam radiation, chemotherapy, or palliative therapy can be considered in these patients [57, 59, 68, 74]. …”

“…2,5 Among several treatment options described, the external beam radiation could be an interesting alternative technique to avoid potentially mutilating procedure, especially in these types of patients with metastatic disease. [6][7][8] Clinical Nuclear Medicine • Volume 41, Number 6, June 2016…”

“…Thanks to the use of 131 I-SPECT/CT imaging fusion techniques, metastasis in rare sites in DTC is increasingly becoming an incidental finding [40]. For example, the recent literature contains reports of parapharyngeal metastasis [41], erector spinae metastasis [42], ovarian metastasis [43], adrenal metastasis [44], and orbital metastasis [45]. With the popularity of 131 I treatment and the emergence of 131 I SPECT/CT fusion imaging techniques, rare metastases in DTC seem to be increasingly common and may not, therefore, be as rare as once thought (Fig.…”
