Abstract

Sternal metastasis of poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) is rare, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of sternal metastasis of PDTC in an 83-year-old woman, 2 years after right hemithyroidectomy, treated with sternal resection and reconstruction.

저분화 갑상선암의 복장뼈로의 전이는 드물어 산발적인 증례 보고가 대부분이다. 저자들은 저분화 갑상선암으로 우측 갑상선편측절제술을 시행 받은 83세 여자 환자에서 수술 2년 후 복장뼈로의 전이가 발생하여 복장뼈 제거술 및 재건술을 시행 받은 드문 증례를 경험하였기에 이를 보고하고자 한다.
