Özet

Cutaneous metastasis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma is rare, and it usually indicates advanced tumor stages. Most of these metastases are seen in the scalp. Lesions can be solitary or multiple. The metastatic deposits are typically present as slow-growing, erythematous or purple-colored, puffy, and ulcerated masses. In this case report, an aggressive follicular thyroid carcinoma with diffuse skin metastases has been discussed with a literature review.
