Abstract

Secondary lesions to the sternum are uncommon and occur more commonly in patients with lung and breast cancer. Only a few cases of sternal metastasis arising from a follicullar thyroid carcinoma have been reported in the literature. The management of this kind of metastasis remains controversial. We describe a case of a sternal mass treated by radical surgery and Iodine radiation, which ultimately proved to be a solitary metastasis from a follicular carcinoma of the thyroid, appearing 20 years after subtotal thyroidectomy. A review of the literature was also performed to evaluate the characteristics of reported cases of sternal thyroid cancer metastases treated with surgical resection. According to the results we recommend surgical resection of the metastasis, not only as a curative or palliative measure but also to maximize the effect of subsequent radioiodine treatment.
