Abstract：
The thyroid cartilage metastatic involvement is an extremely rare entity. It can be asymptomatic at the earlier stage and can become symptomatic later on. Involvement of thyroid cartilage is frequent in melanoma and renal and rarely reported in an advanced stage of carcinoma prostate, breast, and lung. These cases were usually reported on positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) as can often easily be missed on computed tomography scan alone. We present a case report of metastatic involvement of thyroid cartilage in squamous cell carcinoma of buccal mucosa detected on the whole-body 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT.
摘要：
甲状腺软骨转移受累是一种极为罕见的实体。它可以在早期阶段无症状，并且可以在以后出现症状。在黑色素瘤和肾脏中，甲状腺软骨的受累很常见，在晚期前列腺癌中很少报道。乳房,还有肺.这些病例通常是在正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描（PET/CT）上报告的，因为通常仅在计算机断层扫描上很容易错过。我们提供了一例在全身18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖PET/CT上检测到的颊粘膜鳞状细胞癌中甲状腺软骨转移的病例报告。
