Abstract
- Differentiated Thyroid carcinoma (DTC) with distant skeletal metastases is associated with a very poor prognosis and are unfortunately resistant to radioiodine therapy (RIT). Surgical removal of the metastases in such selected cases is a beneficial adjunct to RIT. We report two cases of DTC with sternal metastases whom we successfully managed with surgical resection of the sternal lesion with reconstruction of the chest wall defect using titanium mesh implant and myocutaneous flap.
