title: [Radiographic semeiotics of bone metastasis in thyroid carcinoma].
abstract: It's well-known that thyroid malignant cancer often metastatizes to skeletal structures. Analysing a wide casuistry of the National Cancer Institute of Milan, we thought right not only consider most common iconographic findings of these bone metastases, but rarest too. Therefore, we studied many radiological symptoms: osteolysis and its shape; extension in the next soft tissues; absence of the periosteal reaction; some resemblances with other primitive cancer or secondary too and dysplasic focus; the changes after therapy usually give a not univocal interpretation of the pictures regarding these peculiar alterations.
