Abstract:
In differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), the incidence of bone metastases of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is relatively low, with primary sites including the spine, pelvis, and ribs. While metastasis to the phalangeal bones is particularly rare. Here we reported a case of right ring figure metastasis in a 53-year-old woman with PTC. The right ring figure lesion was confirmed to be metastatic PTC by pathologic examination and immunohistochemistry.

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
