Isolated cerebellar metastasis as the initial presentation of follicular thyroid carcinoma: A rare neurosurgical encounter

This case is likely the first reported instance of isolated cerebellar metastasis from FTC, masquerading as a primary central nervous system tumor. Surgeons should maintain a high index of suspicion when encountering posterior fossa tumors with atypical features, even with a prior benign thyroid FNAC.

Abstract

This case is likely the first reported instance of isolated cerebellar metastasis from FTC, masquerading as a primary central nervous system tumor. Surgeons should maintain a high index of suspicion when encountering posterior fossa tumors with atypical features, even with a prior benign thyroid FNAC.
