Case of cutaneous metastasis from presumed poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 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
introductionCutaneous metastasis from internal malignancy is relatively uncommon and may rarely be the presenting sign of an internal malignancy. The current investigation included a case of cutaneous metastasis from presumed poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma at Addis Ababa University (Black Lion Hospital) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We present this case report to help with the early diagnosis and treatment of cutaneous metastasis from presumed poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma. A CASE REPORT: A 28-year-old Ethiopian female presented to the Dermatology Department at the Faculty of Medicine at Addis Ababa University (Black Lion Hospital) in Addis Ababa with multiple, round, ulcerated nodules on the scalp for 6 months and small round skin-colored subcutaneous nodules on the neck, abdomen, back, and chest. She also had a mobile, firm, nontender, and multinodular anterior neck mass that moved upon swallowing. The patient was diagnosed with cutaneous metastasis from presumed poorly differentiated carcinoma, considering the top differential diagnosis, thyroid carcinoma. Owing to a lack of immunohistochemistry and inability to perform a thyroid biopsy, we could not explicitly state that this was cutaneous metastasis from thyroid carcinoma. Treatment followed the regimen appropriate for the primary metastatic malignancy. Local treatment options include imiquimod cream, liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy, excision, carbon dioxide laser therapy, pulsed dye laser therapy, topical and intralesional chemotherapy, and cytokines. The patient deferred follow-up and passed away after 3 months of the initial presentation.
conclusionA multidisciplinary treatment approach, including medical, surgical, radiation, oncologists, and mental health care providers. Cutaneous metastases are typically indicative of disseminated disease and portend a correspondingly poor prognosis.
