Metastasis of oncocytic thyroid carcinoma in the mandibular condyle: An exceptional localization.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Oncocytic thyroid carcinoma, previously known as Hürthle cell carcinoma, is a well-differentiated neoplasm accounting for 3-5% of malignant thyroid tumors. This type of carcinoma exhibits aggressive behavior with a propensity for lymphovascular invasion and distant metastases. Objective: To present an unusual clinical case of oncocytic thyroid carcinoma metastasis to the right mandibular condyle, highlighting its surgical management and clinical significance. Case report: An 86-year-old woman with a history of oncocytic thyroid carcinoma treated with total thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine in 2019. During follow-up, elevated thyroglobulin levels were detected, and a PET-CT scan revealed uptake in the right mandibular condyle. The lesion was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and surgical biopsy and was treated with a right condylectomy. Histopathological analysis revealed bone infiltration by oncocytic carcinoma. The patient had a favorable postoperative course, with undetectable serum thyroglobulin levels after surgery. Discussion: Bone metastases from oncocytic carcinoma are rare, with the lungs being the most common metastatic site. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case of mandibular metastasis and the first involving the mandibular condyle, underscoring the importance of radical surgical intervention and a multidisciplinary approach in such cases. Conclusions: This case highlights the aggressive nature of oncocytic thyroid carcinoma and the importance of early diagnosis and personalized treatment to improve the prognosis of bone metastases.
