Distant metastasis may be the initial sign of differentiated thyroid carcinoma in rare cases. In this instance, the treatment approach is usually individualized. Unlike most other cancers, local treatment of the primary tumor (total thyroidectomy) is preferred as ablative surgery; so that radioactive iodine therapy should be more effective. Repeated doses of I-131 and radiotherapy for metastatic lesions may be needed. We report a female who presented with bone metastasis with fatal progression.
