Solitary Vertebral Column Metastasis from Occult Sclerosing Carcinoma of the Thyroid Gland: Report of a Case

Arthur S. Patchefsky, I. B. Keller, Carl M. Mansfield

Abstract

The case of a 54-yearold man with carcinoma of the thyroid gland metastatic to the vertebral column is reported. Serial sectioning following total thyroidectomy revealed a 0.85-mm., occult, sclerosing carcinoma and a 3-mm. Hürthle-cell adenoma. The literature is reviewed; no previous case of a minute, occult, sclerosing carcinoma of the thyroid gland presenting as a blood-borne metastasis has been found.
