Abstract
Mandibular metastasis due to thyroid carcinoma is extremely rare phenomena. Most of them were due to follicular carcinoma of thyroid because of its haematogenous spread. Thyroid carcinoma with isolated mandible metastasis accounts for 3.85% of all jaw metastasis. To the best of our knowledge, very few cases are noted in the literature. Here, we are presenting two cases, in which metastatic lesion of mandible due to follicular variant of thyroid carcinoma was detected before or with diagnosis of primary neoplasm.

Key words: mandible, thyroid, follicular carcinoma.
