摘要
Papillay carcinoma is a common thyroid malignancy. It metastasizes predominantly to the lymph node, lungs and bones. Breast metastasis is extremely rare. Only three cases have been reported in the English literature. A 43-year-old female who was diagnosed to have papillary carcinoma of the thyroid underwent total thyroidectomy. After operation, I-131 ablation therapy was given. Breast metastasis was found 9 months later. After breast tumor excision and second I-131 ablation therapy, she has so far remained disease-free for 27 months. Local excision of the breast metastastic lesion with high dose I-131 treatment appeared to be an appropriate option for this patient.
