Abstract
Metastatic tumor of the mandible is a rare lesion and differentiated carcinomas of the thyroid as the primary site of origin are even more uncommon. A case of late metastasis of follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) to the mandible is presented here. The metastasis arose 12 years after thyroidectomy. Although relatively rare, thyroid tumors metastasis to the mandible should be born in mind, as in rare cases this metastasis may be the only presentation of the original malignancy.
