Case ReportsPathological Fracture of Humerus as Initial Presentation of Infiltrative Follicular Subtype of Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma.
Papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMCs) are subcentimetre papillary carcinomas with benign behaviour. Infiltrative follicular subtype of PTMC (IFPTMC) is considered an indolent lesion with propensity to nodal metastasis. Here, we report a case of unifocal IFPTMC with no lymphadenopathy, presenting with fracture of humerus due to metastasis. ⋯ Treating PTMC aggressively with total thyroidectomy has, no doubt, led to a worldwide epidemic of thyroid cancers. But are we confident enough to render active surveillance as their only treatment? Research work is still needed to identify the prognostic factors of PTMC that could guide clinicians to choose appropriate treatment. Key Words: Thyroid, Papillary microcarcinoma, Follicular subtype, Bony metastasis.
