Solitary Nasopharyngeal Metastasis From Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Shown on FDG PET/CT

Abstract: It is very rare for papillary thyroid cancer metastasize to nasopharynx. We report FDG PET/CT findings of a solitary nasopharyngeal metastasis from papillary thyroid cancer 4 decades after the initial diagnosis in a 66-year-old woman, which mimics nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The final diagnosis was confirmed by pathological examination from the biopsy of nasopharyngeal lesion.

“…For example, in pathological examination (biopsy), part of the tissue is extracted from the affected area, and the cell morphology is directly observed after a series of treatments so that the diseased cells can be judged more clearly. [23][24][25] However, its disadvantages are also evident when the tissue to be observed lies deep inside a cavity of the body, as this causes a strong stress response in patients.…”
