Rectal follicular thyroid-like carcinoma: A case report and review of literature
Key Points
Metastases of follicular thyroid-like carcinoma may originate from struma ovarii, revealing a novel pathway.
The analysis discusses a unique case to emphasize the potential for ovarian-derived cancers to metastasize.
Assessment involved a review of clinical data and existing literature on thyroid-like carcinomas in rare sites.
These findings suggest further investigation into uncommon origins of rectal malignancies and their implications.
Abstract
Rectal follicular thyroid-like carcinoma may arise from malignant struma ovarii, highlighting the need to consider ovarian origins in atypical metastases of FTC.
