Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma With Breast and Bone Metastasis

Abstract

Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common thyroid malignant tumor and usually has a fine prognosis. The most common metastatic site is the cervical lymph node, and distant metastasis is rare. This report describes a female patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma who presented with multiple metastases in the cervical lymph nodes, breast, and spine. The patient's disease course lasted 11 years, and eventually metastatic cancer led to the patient's death. We also analyzed the survival rate and median survival time of papillary thyroid carcinoma with multiple organ metastases using data in the literature.
