case_images: (a) Calcaneus: calcaneus lesion showing neoplastic thyroid follicular cells (H&E, x200). (b) Thyroglobulin: neoplastic cells in the calcaneus lesion expressing thyroglobulin (thyroglobulin immunostains, x200).

case_images: Immunostaining showed that the cells expressed cytokeratin, cytokeratin 7, and thyroglobulin, all of which confirm the diagnosis (Figure 3).

case_images: Postoperative plain radiographs and MRI (sagittal T1-WI and T2 fat sat sequences) reveal postsurgical changes in the calcaneus with decrease in the size of the mass which is partially replaced with marrow fat.

case_images: A left ankle X-ray and MRI were ordered (Figure 5) to rule out any recurrence at the surgical site.
case_images: X-ray of the right knee reveals a mixed sclerotic and lytic lesion in the proximal aspect of the tibia with anterior cortical disruption.

case_images: Surgical resection of the metastasis with repair of the patellar tendon was performed, and pathology was also consistent with thyroid follicular cell carcinoma (Figures 6 and 7).
case_images: MRI of the right knee: sagittal T1-WI and T2-WI sequences of the knee show a 4.5 cm lytic expansile mass at the anterior proximal aspect of the tibia involving the patellar tendon insertion. A sclerotic area is seen along the posterior border.
