Metastatic follicular carcinoma of the thyroid to the skin: a case confirmed by immunohistochemistry
Abstract
A 78-year-old woman with a history of follicular carcinoma of the thyroid developed a painless nodule on her face. A skin biopsy showed a dermal tumor composed of cells with granular, eosinophilic cytoplasm. Immunoperoxidase staining demonstrated thyroglobulin in the tumor cells, confirming the diagnosis of metastatic thyroid carcinoma.
