Abstract

The authors present two cases of lytic skull metastasis from thyroid carcinoma. The first case is a 62-year-old female who was diagnosed as thyroid cancer one year ago. She complained a mass over the right parietal area but showed no neurological abnormalities. The mass didn't invade the dura, and was completely removed. Histopathological examination revealed the insular thyroid carcinoma, composed of undifferenciated cells that were responded to thyroglobulin in immunohistochemical staining. The second case is a 75-year-old female who complained a mass over the right parietal and neck area without any neurological abnormality. The mass was confined to the epidural region which was associated with osteolytic change of skull. It was also completely removed. Histopathological examination of mass revealed the follicular thyroid carcinoma.
