ABSTRACT
The skin metastasis of follicular variant of papillary carcinoma thyroid (FVPTC) is a rare condition and the lesions should be differentiated from primary skin tumors. The scalp is the most frequent site which is involved in skin metastasis of FVPTC. It shows the poor outcome and aggressive nature of the disease. In this report, we aim to present a case report of a 65 year –old female with scalp metastasis of FVPTC highlighting the fact that a solitary cutaneous lesion may be the first evidence of disseminated malignancy in a patient with occult papillary thyroid carcinoma.
