Abstract

We present a unique case of metastatic follicular thyroid carcinoma to the hard palate and the maxillary sinus, a case that to our knowledge has not been reported before. Various malignant tumours that metastize to the maxilla are reviewed, and the therapeutic approach to follicular thyroid carcinoma metastasis to that area is also discussed. Follicular thyroid carcinoma should be included in the list of tumours that metastasize to the maxilla.
