When locoregional recurrences (LRR) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) can be repeatedly eliminated by ultrasound-guided percutaneous ethanol ablation (UPEA) and appropriate use of dermatologic surgery, cervical skin metastases (SM) in low risk PTC (LRPTC) can be associated with an excellent long-term prognosis

Background: UPEA for LRR in PTC was introduced in 1993 (JCEM 96:2717, 2011). It is not appreciated that such non-invasive ablations can often be repeated over decades (Surgery 154:1448, 2013). Skin metastases (SM) from thyroid carcinoma are typically associated with disseminated disease; average survival after SM diagnosis is 19 months (JAAD 36:531, 1997). Our case provides insights into managing LRR and SM in LRPTC.Clinical case: In 2004, an open biopsy...
