Journal Title: Surgical Update: International Journal of Surgery and Orthopedics - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Primary carcinoma of thyroid presenting as mandibular metastasis is a rare incidence. Most of the time patient presents with various other symptoms due to hematogenous spread of primary neoplasm. We are presenting a rare case where metastatic lesion of mandible was the presenting feature and the patient was then subsequently diagnosed to have primary follicular carcinoma of thyroid.
