Article Synopsis
- Follicular thyroid carcinoma is the second most common thyroid cancer, with Hurthle cell thyroid carcinoma being a reclassified, more aggressive variant that occurs in about 3% of cases and can lead to metastases, although long-term survival is still possible.
- A 63-year-old woman was diagnosed with Hurthle cell thyroid carcinoma after surgery for a goiter; despite initially good outcomes and treatment with radioactive iodine, she developed metastases in unusual locations, including the heart and pancreas, over 14 years.
- This case highlights that unusual metastasis can happen years after diagnosis, and underscores the need for ongoing follow-up, with effective treatments including radioactive iodine therapy and surgical intervention being crucial for managing recurrent disease.

Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the impact of admission blood glucose on predicting shock in multiply injured patients.
