Osseous metaplasia with mature bone formation of the thyroid gland: Three case reports
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nodular hyperplasia (nodular or multinodular goiter) is the most common form of thyroid disease. These nodules may undergo secondary changes in the form of hemorrhages, calcification and cystic degeneration. However, osseous metaplasia with mature bone formation rarely occurs. The present study reports the cases of three female patients with thyroid nodules diagnosed as nodular hyperplasia with osseous metaplasia and mature bone formation. The patients underwent right lobectomy, near total thyroidectomy and total thyroidectomy, respectively. The clinical course of the patients following resection were unremarkable.

Its existence is usually seen in association with a pathological lesion such as mucoepidermoid carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and diffuse sclerosing variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma. In most cases the squamous cells are few in number and squamous metaplasia is focal and small in size. Extensive squamous metaplasi...
