“…According to some studies, CLNM is not an independent risk factor for death in FTC [ 46 , 47 ]. Other studies, however, report that CLNM was considered a risk factor [ 5 , 38 ]. For example, Witte J et al [ 48 ] proposed that FTC be considered when selecting patients for prophylactic central neck lymph node dissection.…”

“…Although FTC is generally thought have a good prognosis, some studies have described fatal FTC cases [33][34][35]. Furthermore, several studies have identified some clinical indicators as poor prognostic factors of FTC long-term patient survival, which remains debatable, such as age, gender, tumor size, ETE, and so on [36][37][38]. Few studies evaluated these characteristics with the recommended surgical procedure.…”

Background There are conflicting reports on the factors that increase the likelihood of patients dying from follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC). Therefore, it is critical to identify risk factors of patients with FTC. This study aimed to identify the factors that increase the risk of death of patients with FTC and help clinicians make better treatment and follow-up decisions. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted in PubMed and Web of Science databases for relevant studies published before January 31, 2023. Their reference lists were also analyzed. Two reviewers extracted data and evaluated the quality of eligible studies independently. Studies on patients who had open thyroidectomy procedures with or without neck dissection were included in this review. The RevMan 5.3 software was used to analyze the data. Results This meta-analysis included thirteen studies with a total of 2075 patients. The following variables were associated with an increased risk of death in FTC patients: age > 45 years, male, tumor diameter > 4 cm, multifocality, extrathyroidal extension (ETE), widely invasive (WI), cervical lymph node metastasis (CLNM), distant metastases (DM) and non-radical resection tumor. Lobectomy and no radioactive iodine (RAI) treatment was not associated with the death of FTC patients. Conclusion Clinicians should pay closer attention to the following significant risk factors associated with the death of FTC patients: age (> 45), male, multifocality, tumor diameter > 4 cm, ETE, WI, non-radical resection tumor, CLNM, and DM. Individualized initial treatment and close follow-up are needed FTC patients who have these risk factors.

An 80-year-old woman underwent a bilateral lung resection for metastases originating from follicular thyroid cancer. The resection was performed 30 years after right hemithyroidectomy to remove the follicular adenoma. Chest X-ray revealed a 30-mm mass shadow in the right lower lung filed. Chest computed tomography revealed a 32-mm mass shadow in right lung segment 10 (S10) and a 15-mm nodular shadow in left S10. Another partial lung resection of left S10 and a right lower lobectomy were performed 3 months later. Although rarely performed, resection of bilateral pulmonary metastases arising from follicular thyroid cancer was conducted for this patient.
