AI Article Synopsis
- Metastatic involvement of thyroid cartilage is uncommon because it lacks blood vessels.
- A 65-year-old woman, recently diagnosed with breast cancer, underwent skeletal staging with F-NaF PET/CT.
- The imaging revealed multiple bone metastases and an unusual thyroid cartilage metastasis, which may have important implications for cancer prognosis.
Article Abstract
Metastatic involvement of the thyroid cartilage is rare due to the absence of vessels within the cartilaginous tissue. We present the case of a 65-year-old woman recently diagnosed with breast cancer referred for skeletal staging with F-NaF PET/CT. She was found to have multiple osteoblastic metastases along with thyroid cartilage metastasis. Rare thyroid cartilage metastasis on F-NaF PET/CT may have prognostic significance in cancer patients.
